Code Search in Boa Language

[Eduardo Campos]

Hi all,

Thanks for this amazing tool...

I would like to know if it is possible to do a query in Boa language that receives a piece of Java code as input (or maybe code tokens) and returns a list of Java source files that contain code fragments that are semantically similar (i.e, they are Type-4 code clones) to user input code.

Remembering that Type-4 code clones are syntactically dissimilar code fragments that implement 

the same functionality. They are also known as semantic clones.

Many thanks and best regards,

Eduardo Campos.

Hi Eduardo,

At the moment, Boa does not include direct support for finding type-4 code clones.

Boa simply provides the AST of Java source files.  You are then free to program code clone detection on top of that.
