title: A CSV dataset for software code clones testing and the code to test them

description: This is a benchmark dataset based on BigCloneBench from  https://github.com/jeffsvajlenko/BigCloneEval/ itself including https://github.com/clonebench/BigCloneBench and ijadataset source code files.

 

BigCloneBench

The license of https://github.com/clonebench/BigCloneBench is originally: CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0

The data is distributed originally in an h2 database. The data was created by using the h2 database engine to export the original h2 tables to CSV verbatim. All CSVs are compressed with zstandard.

In addition, CLONED_FUNCTIONS_SIM_ALL.csv.zst was created with this query:

SELECT * FROM  CLONES as C, FUNCTIONS as F1, FUNCTIONS AS F2 WHERE FUNCTION_ID_ONE = F1.ID AND FUNCTION_ID_TWO = F2.ID8584153 rowsIn addition, CLONED_FUNCTIONS_SIM_05.csv.zst was created with this query:SELECT * FROM  CLONES as C, FUNCTIONS as F1, FUNCTIONS AS F2 WHERE FUNCTION_ID_ONE = F1.ID AND FUNCTION_ID_TWO = F2.ID WHERE SIMILARITY_TOKEN > 0.52720242 rows

IJADataSet

The IJA dataset is composed of the java files used in the BigCloneBench and zstd-compressed in  ijadataset-2016.tar.zst

The license is assumed to be the same as the https://github.com/clonebench/BigCloneBench , originally: CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 but each file may have other open source licenses.The notice from https://github.com/clonebench/BigCloneBench is:

IJaDataset: We distribute here IJaDataset 2.0 with additions and modifications for the benchmark. The files contained within were crawled from open-source projects. Their in-file licenses are maintained as-is. Additionally, the benchmark database lists the source of each file, and their detected licensing. IJaDataset 2.0 is from the SECold Project: http://www.secold.org/projects/seclone.

http://www.secold.org/projects/seclone is  only visible in the archive and carries no explicit license https://web.archive.org/web/20161231055842/http://www.secold.org/projects/seclone

To address this issue, we also extracted an older, full version of the BigCloneBench dataset that contains license and origin information. This is the bcb-functions-with-licenses.sql.zst file that contains an SQL dump from the Postgres database provided by https://github.com/clonebench/BigCloneBench

The data has not been verified. Therefore we consider this data usable for testing, but not for any training or deployment.
