Duplicate code

In computer programming, duplicate code is a sequence of source code that occurs more than once, either within a program or across different programs owned or maintained by the same entity. Duplicate code is generally considered undesirable for a number of reasons. A minimum requirement is usually applied to the quantity of code that must appear in a sequence for it to be considered duplicate rather than coincidentally similar. Sequences of duplicate code are sometimes known as code clones or just clones, the automated process of finding duplications in source code is called clone detection. Two code sequences may be duplicates of each other without being character-for-character identical, for example by being character-for-character identical only when white space characters and comments are ignored, or by being token-for-token identical, or token-for-token identical with occasional variation. Even code sequences that are only functionally identical may be considered duplicate code.

MarcXimiL : near duplicates detection (and similarity analysis)

Alain Borel, Jan Brice Krause

MarcXimiL is an open source tool which works on MARCXML records and calculates similarity indices between these records. After a short theoretical introduction, the tutorial will focus on how to install, parametrize and use the tool. This tool can be implemented in order to : * prevent creation of duplicates (similar records are shown during the validation process) * identify duplicates into batch files before ingest * find duplicates inside a collection * suggest to users similar records to the one found after a request * match related documents eg. preprints and articles * and so on.

Yin-Yang: Concealing the Deep Embedding of DSLs

Vojin Jovanovic, Christoph Koch, Vladimir Nikolaev, Martin Odersky, Amir Shaikhha, Sandro Stucki

Deeply embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) intrinsically compromise programmer experience for improved program performance. Shallow EDSLs complement them by trading program performance for good programmer experience. We present Yin-Yang, a framework for DSL embedding that uses Scala macros to reliably translate shallow EDSL programs to the corresponding deep EDSL programs. The translation allows program prototyping and development in the user friendly shallow embedding, while the corresponding deep embedding is used where performance is important. The reliability of the translation completely conceals the deep embedding from the user. For the DSL author, Yin-Yang automatically generates the deep DSL embeddings from their shallow counterparts by reusing the core translation. This obviates the need for code duplication and leads to reliability by construction.
