Dictionary Based Approach to Detect Cross Language Clones of C and Java Language

摘要

Software Clones are the result of the copy/paste activity widely used by programmers to reuse existing code to save time. 10–15% of the code in large codebase are clones. gcc-8.7%, JDK-29%, Linux-22% There are state of art tools for detecting clones same language like CCFinderX,EqMiner, Dup, Simjava, Nicad but no tool exist for finding cross language clones. Hence to solve the software maintenance efforts in development process it is important to propose efficient techniques to identify cross language clones (especially type-III and type-IV clones). This work providesproper inputs to the developers who engage in software forking or porting activities by detecting types of cross language clones.
