SmallDude is a duplication detector.

It was originally implemented by Mihai Balint and Violeta Voinescu as part of their Master’s thesis work, and it is currently maintained by Tudor Girba.

Description

The algorithm used is a string based one that depends on 3 parameters:

• Minimum clone length - defines the minimum amount of lines present in a clone. In our experiments we used 7.
• Maximum line bias - defines the maximum amount of lines in between two exact chunks. In our experiments we used 2.
• Minimum chunk size - defines the minimum amount of lines of an exact chunk. In our experiments we used 3.
