In modern software engineering, researchers regard a software system as an organic life form that must continue to evolve to remain successful. Unfortunately, little is known abou...
A code clone represents a sequence of statements that are duplicated in multiple locations of a program. Clones often arise in source code as a result of multiple cut/paste operat...
In this paper, we propose a new semantic clone detection e by comparing programs’ abstract memory states, which are computed by a semantic-based static analyzer. Our experimenta...
