Abstract

Programmers often use manual source code copy and modification as an easy means for functionality reuse. Nevertheless, such practice produces duplicated pieces of code or clones whose consistent maintenance might be difficult to achieve. It also creates implicit links between classes sharing functionality. Clones are therefore good candidates for system redesign. This paper presents a novel approach for computer-aided clone-based object-oriented system refactoring. The approach is based on an advanced clone analysis, which focuses on the extraction of clone differences and their interpretation in terms of programming language entities. It also focuses on the study of contextual dependencies of cloned methods. The clone analysis has been applied to JDK 1.1.5, a large-scale system of 150 KLOC.

Clone maintenance through analysis and refactoring
FSEDS '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Foundations of Software Engineering Doctoral Symposium

The removal of duplicate code associated with code clones provides a mechanism to improve code clone maintenance by eliminating redundant code and reducing the amount of code that needs to be maintained. The research described in this paper contributes ...
Towards flexible code clone detection, management, and refactoring in IDE
IWSC '11: Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Software Clones

In this paper, we propose an IDE-based clone management system to flexibly detect, manage, and refactor both exact and near-miss code clones. Using a k-difference hybrid suffix tree algorithm we can efficiently detect both exact and near-miss clones. We ...
Increasing clone maintenance support by unifying clone detection and refactoring activities

Context: Clone detection tools provide an automated mechanism to discover clones in source code. On the other side, refactoring capabilities within integrated development environments provide the necessary functionality to assist programmers in ...
