Title
Static Bug Detection Through Analysis of Inconsistent Clones
Abstract
Existing software systems contain a significant amount of duplicated code. Such redundancy can negatively impact program cor- rectness, since inconsistent updates to duplicated code fragments are prone to introduce subtle bugs. This paper outlines our work-in-progress to statically detect inconsistencies in duplicated code fragments in or- der to find clone-related bugs. We illustrate the problem of clone related bugs with the example of such a bug in Eclipse, outline our algorithm for detecting inconsistencies in clones and report initial experiences from an industrial case study conducted with the Munich Re Group.
