• Comparison and evaluation of code clone detection techniques and tools: A qualitative approach (2009, background): “While such cloning is often intentional [64] and can be useful in many ways [3, 61], it can be also be harmful in software maintenance and evolution [56].”
• To What Extent do Deep Learning-based Code Recommenders Generate Predictions by Cloning Code from the Training Set? (2022, background): “Kapser and Godfrey [30] showed that developers significantly use code clones while developing software, and highlighted good”
• VUDDY: A Scalable Approach for Vulnerable Code Clone Discovery (2017, background): “Code cloning, the act of copying and pasting portions of other software, can be useful if it is properly exploited [6], [7].”
• Mining idioms from source code (2014, background): “Code clones [6, 11, 26, 27, 28, 32, 44, 45] are related to idiom mining, since they aim to find blocks of highly similar code.”
