TXL solution to TIL Chairmarks #4.6: Clone detection. This example implements clone detection for exact clones of structured statements (if, while, for) in a TIL program and outputs the program with clones marked up using XML tags indicating the clone class of each instance.

% Clone detection on Tiny Imperative Language programs
% Jim Cordy, October 2007

% Given a TIL program, this program finds exact clones
% of stuctured statements (if, while and for statements)
% and outputs the program with exact clones marked up
% to indicate their clone class.  

% Usage:  txl program.til TILclonesexact.Txl > program.clones 

% Begin with the TIL base grammar
include "TIL.Grm"

% Overrides to conflate all structured statements into one nonterminal type.
% Putting [structured_statement] before existing statement forms makes
% it the preferred parse for the statements it matches.

redefine statement
        [structured_statement] 
    |   ...
end redefine

define structured_statement
        [if_statement]
    |   [for_statement]
    |   [while_statement]
end define

% Overrides to allow XML markup of TIL statements.

redefine statement
        ...
    |   [marked_statement]
end redefine

define marked_statement
        [xmltag]         [NL][IN] 
            [statement]  [EX] 
        [xmlend]         [NL]
end define

% [SPOFF] and [SPON] temporarily disable default spacing in tags

define xmltag
        < [SPOFF] [id] [SP] [id] = [number] > [SPON]
end define

define xmlend
        < [SPOFF] / [id] > [SPON]
end define


% Main program

function main
    replace [program]
        P [program]

    % First make a table of all repeated structured statements
    construct StructuredClones [repeat structured_statement]
        _ [findStructuredStatementClones P]

    % Now mark up all instances of each of them in the program
    % CloneNumber keeps track of the index of each one in the table as we step 
    % through it using 'each'
    export CloneNumber [number] 0
    by
        P [markCloneInstances each StructuredClones]
end function

% We make a table of the cloned structured statements by first making a table
% of all structured statements in the program, then looking for repeats

function findStructuredStatementClones P [program] 
    % Use the extract [^] function to make a table of all structured statements in the program
    construct StructuredStatements [repeat structured_statement]
            _ [^ P]
    % Now add each one that is repeated to the table of clones 
    replace [repeat structured_statement]
        % empty to begin with
    by
        _ [addIfClone StructuredStatements each StructuredStatements]
end function

function addIfClone StructuredStatements [repeat structured_statement] Stmt [structured_statement]
    % A structured statement is cloned if it appears twice in the table of all statements
    deconstruct * StructuredStatements
        Stmt
        Rest [repeat structured_statement]
    deconstruct * [structured_statement] Rest
        Stmt

    % If it does appear (at least) twice, add it to the table of clones 
    replace [repeat structured_statement]
        StructuredClones [repeat structured_statement]
    % Make sure it's not already in the table
    deconstruct not * [structured_statement] StructuredClones
        Stmt
    by
        StructuredClones [. Stmt]
end function

% Once we have the table of all clones, we mark up each instance of each of them
% in the program with its clone class, that is, the index of it in the clone table

rule markCloneInstances StructuredClone [structured_statement]
    % Keep track of the index of this clone in the table
    import CloneNumber [number]
    export CloneNumber 
        CloneNumber [+ 1]

    % Mark up all instances of it in the program
    % 'skipping' avoids marking any instance twice
    skipping [marked_statement]
    replace [statement]
        StructuredClone
    by
        <clone class=CloneNumber> StructuredClone </clone>
end rule

Example run:

var n;
write "Input n please";
read n;
var f;
f := 2;
while n != 1 do
    while (n / f) * f = n do
        write f;
        n := n / f;
    end
    if n = 3 then
        n := 2;
    end
    f := f + 1;
end
while (n / f) * f = n do
    write f;
    if n = 3 then
        n := 2;
    end
    n := n / f;
end
while n != 1 do
    while (n / f) * f = n do
        write f;
        n := n / f;
        if n = 3 then
            n := 2;
        end
    end
    f := f + 1;
    while (n / f) * f = n do
        write f;
        n := n / f;
    end
