BackgroundandRelatedWork

Automaticcodemodificationtransformationhasbeenanactiveresearchfieldinthesoftwareengineeringcommunityformanyyears.Theearlystudiesmainlyfocusedonrule-basedortemplate-basedapproaches,whichrelyonpredefinedrulesortemplatestomodifycodeautomatically.However,theseapproachessufferfromseverallimitations,suchasthedifficultyofhandlingcomplexcodestructures,thelimitedflexibilityofrulesandtemplates,andthepotential

inconsistencyofcodesemantics.Inordertoovercometheselimitations,theresearchershaveproposedvarioustechniques,suchasmachinelearning,datamining,andnaturallanguageprocessing.Thesetechniquescanautomaticallylearnpatternsandrulesfromcode,andthenmodifythecodebasedonthesepatternsandrules.Nevertheless,thesetechniquesalsofacemanychallenges,suchasthedifficultyofhandlingcodevariations,thelackofdomain-specificknowledge,andthepotentialnoiseorerrorsinthelearnedpatternsandrules.
