Text-based tools such as the UNIX utility diff often produce unsatisfactory comparisons because they cannot accurately pinpoint the differences and because they sometimes produce irrelevant differences. Since programs have a rigid syntactic structure as described by the grammar of the programming language in which they are written, we develop a comparison algorithm that exploits knowledge of the grammar. The algorithm, which is based on a dynamic programming scheme, can point out the differences between two programs more accurately than previous text comparison tools. Finally, the two programs are pretty-printed ‘synchronously’ with the differences highlighted so that the differences are easily identified.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/25595302265f2f88d38a27461bcca6d01/cschenkcschenk2008-05-30T16:08:12+02:00code development diff eclipse paper plugin read:2008 recording source <span style="color:#555555;">Takayuki <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Omori">Omori</a> and Katsuhisa <a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/author/Maruyama">Maruyama</a> </span><em>MSR '08: Proceedings of the 2008 international workshop on Mining software repositories, </em><em>page 31--34. </em><em>New York, NY, USA, </em><em>ACM, </em><em>May 2008. </em>Fri May 30 16:08:12 CEST 2008New York, NY, USAMSR '08: Proceedings of the 2008 international workshop on Mining software repositoriesMay31--34A Change-Aware Development Environment by Recording Editing Operations of Source Code2008code development diff eclipse paper plugin read:2008 recording source Understanding a program and its evolution is not satisfied only by looking at a current snapshot of its source code. Thus, a developer often examines a sequence of its snapshots stored in repositories of versioning systems, and identifies differences between two successive snapshots. Unfortunately, such differences do not represent individual changes of the source code. This paper proposes a mechanism for recording all editing operations a developer has applied to source code on an integrated development environment. The paper also shows a running implementation of the mechanism built as an Eclipse plug-in, which is called OperationRecorder. The experimental results with a small-scale program substantiate that it has a practical use from the viewpoint of its performance.We have developed a running implementation of the proposed mechanism built as an Eclipse plug-in, which is called OperationRecorder.
