Multi-Language Detection of Design Pattern Instances
Code comprehension is often supported by source code analysis tools which provide more abstract views over software systems, such as those detecting design patterns. These tools encompass analysis of source code and ensuing extraction of relevant information. However, the analysis of the source code is often specific to the target programming language. We propose DP-LARA, a multi-language pattern detection tool that uses the multi-language capability of the LARA framework to support finding p…
