一种高效的源代码搜索算法

An Efficient Code Search Algorithm

多年来的软件开发积累了大量的源代码,同时不少代码搜索工具也被开发出来,但是,现有的工具都不够精确,因而很少有人使用。本文提出一种高效的源代码搜索算法,通过识别查询语句与API的关系,以提高代码搜索的准确性。基于该算法,本文实现一个针对C#源代码的搜索工具,并通过客观实验与用户调研对算法进行评估。实验结果表明本文提出的搜索算法是十分有效的。

Over the years of software development,a vast amount of source code has been accumulated. At the same time,many code search tools have been developed to help programmers searching source code. As all these code search tools are not accurate enough,few developers use these tools to help them. In this paper,we propose an efficient code search algorithm,which can recognize the relation between APIs and queries,so it can improve the accuracy in code search. This paper also implements a C#code search tools based on the algorithm. At last,we did the experiment objectively and conducted a user study to evaluate the algorithm. The experiment results verify that the algorithm is efficient.
