I actually wonder if it’s possible to write code at such a macro level as to obfuscate, say, a keylogger in a huge codebase such that reviewing just a single module/unit would not reveal that something bad is going on.

Depends on how complicated the project itself is. A simple structure with the bare minimum of side-effects (think, functional programming) would make this effort harder.

For something like C, all bets are off: http://www.underhanded-c.org/ or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underhanded_C_Contest
