Duplo (C/C++/Java Duplicate Source Code Block Finder)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Duplicated source code blocks can harm maintainability of software systems. Duplo is a tool to find duplicated code blocks in large C, C++, Java, C# and VB.Net systems.

Sample output snippet:

...
src\engine\geometry\simple\TorusGeometry.cpp(56)
src\engine\geometry\simple\SphereGeometry.cpp(54)
    pBuffer[currentIndex*size+3]=(i+1)/(float)subdsU;
    pBuffer[currentIndex*size+4]=j/(float)subdsV;
    currentIndex++;
    pPrimitiveBuffer->unlock();

src\engine\geometry\subds\SubDsGeometry.cpp(37)
src\engine\geometry\SkinnedMeshGeometry.cpp(45)
    pBuffer[i*size+0]=m_ct[0]->m_pColors[i*3];
    pBuffer[i*size+1]=m_ct[0]->m_pColors[i*3+1];
    pBuffer[i*size+2]=m_ct[0]->m_pColors[i*3+2];
...

OPTIONS

Run "duplo --help" on the command line to see the detailed options.

FILE LIST GENERATION

Generate a list of all files of a directory with:

Windows

dir /s /b /a-d *.cpp *.h > files.lst

UNIX

find -name "*.cpp" > cppList.lst
find -name "*.h" > includeList.lst
cat cppList.lst includeList.lst > all.lst
