Summary: This patch aims at optimizing the CloneChecker for larger programs. Before this patch we took around 102 seconds to analyze sqlite3 with a complexity value of 50. After this patch we now take 2.1 seconds to analyze sqlite3. The biggest performance optimization is that we now put the constraint for group size before the constraint for the complexity. The group size constraint is much faster in comparison to the complexity constraint as it only does a simple integer comparison. The complexity constraint on the other hand actually traverses each Stmt and even checks the macro stack, so it is obviously not able to handle larger amounts of incoming clones. The new order filters out all the single-clone groups that the type II constraint generates in a faster way before passing the fewer remaining clones to the complexity constraint. This reduced runtime by around 95%. The other change is that we also delay the verification part of the type II clones back in the chain of constraints. This required to split up the constraint into two parts - a verification and a hash constraint (which is also making it more similar to the original design of the clone detection algorithm). The reasoning for this is the same as before: The verification constraint has to traverse many statements and shouldn't be at the start of the constraint chain. However, as the type II hashing has to be the first step in our algorithm, we have no other choice but split this constrain into two different ones. Now our group size and complexity constrains filter out a chunk of the clones before they reach the slow verification step, which reduces the runtime by around 8%. I also kept the full type II constraint around - that now just calls it's two sub-constraints - in case someone doesn't care about the performance benefits of doing this.
