Abstract:
Techniques for detecting, analyzing, and/or reporting code clone are described herein. In one or more implementations, clone-code detection is performed on one or more source code bases to find true and near clones of a subject code snippet that a user (e.g., a software developer) expressly or implicitly selected. In one or more other implementations, code clone is analyzed to estimate the code-improvement-potential (such as bug-potential and code-refactoring-potential) properties of clones. One or more other implementations present the results of code clone analysis with indications (e.g., rankings) of the estimated properties of the respective the clones.
