Abstract:
Software developers usually copy and paste a particular piece of code as they prefer to use a pre-written or a partial solution as a basis for solving their problem. However, it can lead to various errors, as well as increase the size of the source and binary code. Finding similar parts of code (clones) in binary code becomes more applicable when the source code is not available. Additionally, a compiler can copy some parts of code during various transformations and create code clones, which do not exist in the source code.
