tlv 1.5.3

tlv




Too less variation - A tool to discover code duplication in various languages
Purpose
Code duplication are hard to track across many files.
There are tools existing like CPD (from PMD) which are doing a great job, but they require JAVA (or even some more obscure language) to run.
So I decided to write a small tool which uses Pygments and python difflib to catch code duplications for as many languages as possible
Requirements

python3
Pygments

Installation
PyPi
simply run
pip3 install tlv

From source

Install the needed requirements by running pip3 install Pygments
git clone this repository
cd to <clone folder>
run sudo ./build.sh

Usage
usage: tlv [-h] [--minlines MINLINES] [--mintoken MINTOKEN] [-j JOBS]
[--lexer {...}]
[--wildcard_token {...}]
[--verbose] [--nodetails]
files [files ...]

Find code duplications across various languages
positional arguments:
files Files to parse

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--minlines MINLINES Minimum length of block in lines before reporting
--mintoken MINTOKEN Minimum length of block in token before reporting
-j JOBS, --jobs JOBS Number of jobs to run in parallel

Token types that are threated as wildcards (actual
value doesn't matter)
--verbose Verbose output
--nodetails Dump the details of a finding

By default tool guesses the content type by the filename, if that doesn't work for you please see below
Specify a lexer
You can use a specific lexer by running the tool with the --lexer= option.
When doing this all input files are processed by the specified lexer, you have to ensure that all passed files are of the specified file, else the results might be bogus.
Output
Output will be written to stdout.
There are 2 possible finding types

Duplicate - The code is exactly the same
TooLessVariation - The code is the same, when removing all token types specified by --wildcard_token

if you don't want to see the code itself, pass the --nodetails option
