  • System and method for data-mining a source code base to obtain module interface information
    Publication number: 20030191733
    Abstract: A system and method for data mining a source code base, such as a Unix kernel, to obtain module interface information, thereby facilitating “modularization” of the code base is described. In one exemplary configuration, the invention is an extraction tool that extracts from a source code base exported programming interfaces for a given set of files defined as a module and produces a flat-data file of the extracted interfaces. The flat-data file is easily manipulable by other programs to extract specified data or generate reports, for example.
