We propose a new token‐based approach for large‐scale code clone detection, which is
based on a filtering heuristic that reduces the number of token comparisons when the two …

Code cloning—that is, the gratuitous duplication of source code within a software system—is
an endemic problem in large, industrial systems [6, 5]. While there has been much research …

Clone detection is a research technique for analyzing software systems for similarities, with
applications in software understanding, maintenance, evolution, license enforcement and …

Several studies have been proposed in the literature on software clones from different points
of view and covering many correlated features and areas, which are particularly relevant to …

Code cloning—that is, the gratuitous duplication of source code within a software system—is
an endemic problem in large, industrial systems [9, 7]. While there has been much research …

Code clones have long been recognized as bad smells in software systems and are
considered to cause maintenance problems during evolution. It is broadly assumed that the …

Many researchers have conducted a variety of research related to clone evolution. In order
to grasp how clones have evolved, clones must be tracked. However, conventional clone …

The knowledge of code clone evolution throughout the history of a software system is
essential in comprehending and managing its clones properly and cost-effectively. However …

Given the availability of large source-code repositories, there has been a large number of
applications for large-scale clone detection. Unfortunately, despite a decade of active …

In this paper, we have discussed several code replication detection methods and tools in
different dimensions. This review has provided an extensive survey codec clone detection …
