The Impact of Programming Languages in Code Cloning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Code cloning is a duplication of source code fragments that frequently occurs in large software systems. Although different studies exist that evidence cloning benefits, several others expose its harmfulness, specifically upon inconsistent clone management. One important cause for the creation of software clones is the inherent abstraction capabilities and terseness of the programming language being used. This paper focuses on the features of two different programming languages, namely Java and Scala, and studies how different language constructs can induce or reduce code cloning. This study was further developed using our tool Kamino which provided clone detection and concrete values. 1998 ACM Subject Classification K.6.3 Software Management

The effect of Code switching on the Acquisition of Object Relative Clauses by Iranian EFL Learners
This study attempted to investigate the impact of teacher’s code-switching on the acquisition of a problematic grammatical structure, namely, object relative clauses, by intermediate EFL learners. Moreover, a secondary objective of the study was to determine the EFL learners’ attitudes and opinions regarding the effectiveness of teacher’s code-switching in their learning of a specific aspect of...
متن کاملDwarf Frankenstein is still in your memory: tiny code reuse attacks
Code reuse attacks such as return oriented programming and jump oriented programming are the most popular exploitation methods among attackers. A large number of practical and non-practical defenses are proposed that differ in their overhead, the source code requirement, detection rate and implementation dependencies. However, a usual aspect among these methods is consideration of the common be...
متن کاملVector Pascal
Vector Pascal is a language designed to support elegant and efficient expression of algorithms using the SIMD model of computation. It imports into Pascal features derived from the functional languages APL and J, in particular the extension of all operators to work on vectors of data. The type system is extended to handle dimensional analysis. Code generation is via the ILCG system that allows ...
متن کاملCloning in DSLs: Experiments with OCL
Code cloning (i.e., similar code fragments) in general purpose languages has been a major focus of the research community. For domain specific languages (DSLs), cloning related to domain-specific graphical languages has also been considered. This paper focuses on domainspecific textual languages in an effort to evaluate cloning in these DSLs where instances of such DSLs allow for less code to e...
