Abstract

In this position paper, we describe work-in-progress in detecting source code clones by means of analyzing and comparing the assembler that is produced when the source code is compiled.

Survey on Software Clone Detection Research
ICMSS 2019: Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Management Engineering, Software Engineering and Service Sciences

In order to improve the efficiency of software development, developers often copy-paste code. It is found that the clone code may affect the quality of the software system, especially the maintenance and comprehension of the software, so it is necessary ...
Evaluating the performance of clone detection tools in detecting cloned co-change candidates
Abstract
Co-change candidates are the group of code fragments that require a change if any of these fragments experience a modification in a commit operation during software evolution. The cloned co-change candidates are a subset of the co-...
Highlights
- Syntax-based tools perform better than textual similarity-based tools.

Model-Driven Inline Assembler Generator for Retargetable Compilers
CSCS '13: Proceedings of the 2013 19th International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science

This paper presents an automated method for implementing an inline assembler tool in a compiler, as opposed to manually writing such a software component. By using this approach, the retargetability time is considerably reduced and the maintenance ...
