NiCad

NiCad is a near-miss source code clone detection system for finding similar fragments in a repository. It can analyze code at file, function, or block granularity. Included language plugins cover C, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, WSDL, and ATL; plugins for other languages can be added when a TXL grammar is available. Configuration files let users tailor renaming, filtering, abstraction, and normalization before comparison. Results include clone pairs and clone classes in XML-like formats, with optional browsable HTML reports. The default near-miss difference threshold is 0.30; a setting of 0.00 means exact clones. NiCadCross can report fragments from one system that also appear as clones in a second. The software is free under an MIT-style license, with stated conditions for use, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and can be run from its directory for personal use or installed system-wide. NiCad 7.0 requires OpenTxl 11 or later; building comparison tools requires Turing+ 6.2 or later.
