Research highlights
► Contemporary access and visibility control mechanisms in feature-oriented programming languages are suboptimal (undefined semantics and limited expressiveness). ► There is a considerable potential for access and visibility modifiers tailored to feature-oriented programming, which is supported by an empirical study on ten non-trivial feature-oriented product lines. ► Most features of a sample of ten software product lines are largely self-referential, which supports the philosophy of viewing features as cohesive units that should be developed independently, rather than viewing features as transformations that have access to all program elements.
