  abstract = {Software evolution sometimes requires changes of module interfaces, which in turn cause crosscutting changes, or changes of module clients that are spreading over a program. Such changes on the client-side can be too complicated to be automatically achieved by text replacement and refactoring tools. We propose a code transformation language, called Crossver, for consistently updating code fragments in a program. Crossver offers a source-level pattern sublanguage to express complicated transformation conditions. The patterns are robust against variety among clients thanks to the dataflow-based pattern matcher. In the paper, we overview the design and core semantics of Crossver.}
