Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a methodology and a prototype of a source-to-source transformation tool for error fixing in C/C++ program source code for missing condition checks after a method call. The missing condition checks in a C program could lead to a program crash. This tool can be extended for other programming languages in addition to C/C++. The developed tool includes the ability to generate and apply a fix for a source code without human intervention. The tool can be run on different platforms, including MS Windows, Linux, MAC OS and other operating systems. We evaluate our technique by applying it to five widely used open source programs. Our results show that it is able to successfully detect and add the missing condition check or correct it after a method call in the program, and that our detection and error fixing technique is quite accurate in practice.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
