One of the biggest problem is uncontrolled variable definitions that gets even nasty when variables have same names with different types; though under different set of #ifdefs. Quite possible for commonly used variable names - i, ptr, tmp, etc.

Then let's just say that if you're going to define a variable in the middle of a function, it can't have the same name as another variable in that function.

I feel, here, ifdefs provide a false sense of 'enclosure' with possibility of frequent breaches - in code (while implementing) and in simple reading (for understanding).

Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about. The #ifdefs are used to enable feature-specific code on platforms that have that feature.
