Type-2 software cone detection using directed acyclic graph
Pratiksha Gautam, Hemraj Saini · 2017
Software clone is a serious maintenance problem in software industry due to copying and pasting. Reusing a piece of source code from one place to another place is called copied code/ software clone and the process is called software cloning. However, various software clone detection techniques and tools have been proposed for software clone detection. In this paper, we present a directed acyclic graph (DAG) method for detection of type-2 software clones. Generally, directed acyclic graph is a syntax tree except that each node has unique value. DAG is used to eliminate common sub-expressions and dead code. Hence, we used to detect type-2 software clones.
