5 Questions
What is the focus of this work?
The focus of this work is on the methodology of three-way structured merge in version control systems, specifically on the combination of top-down and bottom-up visit of abstract syntax trees to manipulate shifted code effectively and elegantly.
What are the benefits of syntax-based structured approaches in version control systems?
Syntax-based structured approaches have demonstrated benefits in improving merge accuracy in version control systems.
What is the challenge addressed in this work regarding prior structured merging approaches?
This work addresses the challenge of identifying and merging shifted code in structured merging approaches that visit abstract syntax trees in a top-down manner.
What problem is reduced to computing a topological sort of strongly connected components of the constraint graph?
The merge problem of ordered lists is reduced to computing a topological sort of strongly connected components of the constraint graph.
Where was this work conducted?
This work was conducted at the School of Software, Tsinghua University, China, and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Germany, among other institutions.
