This difficulty is related to the way the source code is formatted, the complexity of the code, and the amount of information contained within it. This work presents an initial approach that uses measures of typographical style, spatial complexity and concept assignment to measure these factors, and to model the comprehensibility of an evolving program. The ultimate aim of which is to identify when a program becomes more difficult to comprehend, triggering a corrective action to be taken to prevent this. We present initial findings from applying this approach. These findings show that this approach, through measuring these three factors, can model the change in comprehensibility of an evolving program. Our findings support the well-known claim that programs become more complex as they evolve, explaining this increase in complexity in terms of layout changes, conceptual coherence, spatial relationships between source code elements, and the relationship between these factors. This in turn can then be used to understand how maintenance affects program comprehensibility and to ultimately reduce its burden on software maintenance.","PeriodicalId":443491,"journal":{"name":"11th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123444776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cook","doi":"10.1109/WCRE.2004.43","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/WCRE.2004.43","url":null,"abstract":"Many legacy systems are built on the technology of dynamic link libraries. Software engineering tools have not exploited this framework very well. Because the linking is delayed until runtime, it seems natural to provide tools access to the linking process, in order to track it, and even to modify it. There is no reason the dynamic linker must resolve a symbol to the intended function. To this end we have created DDL (the Dynamic Dynamic Linker) by modifying the Gnu dynamic linker to provide an API for developers to use to customize the linking process. We believe that DDL will be useful for a wide variety of software engineering tasks, not the least of which is the reverse engineering of legacy systems, and their maintenance and modification. We present a case study of one such task. This task is the understanding and modification of the SimpleScalar CPU/architectural simulator. We were able to use DDL to understand the behavior of SimpleScalar at a function-call level, and then used DDL to modify the run-time behavior (without modifying the functional source code) to implement the switching between detailed and functional simulation modes (an important extension to the community).","PeriodicalId":443491,"journal":{"name":"11th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125437739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
