Abstract

Code duplication detection is the act of finding similar code in software development. It is important for software engineer to address the issues of code duplication detection. In this paper, a critical review of previous works on code duplication for code clone and plagiarism detection is performed. The review involves five main parts. Firstly, a systematic literature review is conducted to confirm the selected articles. Secondly, a critical review of different code duplication approaches is conducted based on three phases; processing, detection, and decision. Thirdly, statistical analysis of the number of review articles is performed to show the trends and hots of code duplication research. Moreover, quantitative analysis of different code duplication approaches is presented to show the effectiveness of different approaches. Fourthly, the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches and techniques are summarized and discussed. Finally, the conclusion of the review is summarized and future research direction of code duplication is described.

Archeology of Code Duplication: Recovering Duplication Chains from Small Duplication Fragments
SYNASC '05: Proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing

Code duplication is a common problem, and a well-known sign of bad design. As a result of that, in the last decade, the issue of detecting code duplication led to various solutions and tools that can automatically find duplicated blocks of code. However,...
Insights into System-Wide Code Duplication
WCRE '04: Proceedings of the 11th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering

Duplication of code is a common phenomenon in the development and maintenance of large software systems. The detection and removal of duplicated code has become a standard activity during the refactoring phases of a software life-cycle. However, code ...
Simulation-based code duplication for enhancing compiler optimizations
SPLASH Companion 2017: Proceedings Companion of the 2017 ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity

The scope of compiler optimizations is often limited by control flow, which prohibits optimizations across basic block boundaries. Code duplication can solve this problem by extending basic block sizes, thus enabling subsequent optimizations. However, ...
