AtomicCommitBench: Can Coding Agents Reconstruct Commit Histories from Squashed Patches?
Zhihao Lin, Mingyi Zhou, Li Li
Coding agents often finish a session by returning one squashed patch that mixes feature implementation, bug fixes, refactorings, tests, and configuration edits. While the final cod…
How Much Static Structure Do Code Agents Need? A Study of Deterministic Anchoring
Zhihao Lin, Mingyi Zhou, Yizhuo Yang +1
LLM-based code agents navigate repositories through keyword search but miss the structural relationships, such as call graphs, inheritance hierarchies, and configuration dependenci…
RepoRescue: An Empirical Study of LLM Agents on Whole-Repository Compatibility Rescue
Zhihao Lin, Mingyi Zhou, Zhensu Sun +4
Open-source libraries and tools are widely reused, but compatibility maintenance is expensive. Once maintainers leave, useful repositories can stop working as runtimes and dependen…
To Run or Not to Run: Analyzing the Cost-Effectiveness of Code Execution in LLM-Based Program Repair
Zhihao Lin, Junhua Zhu, Mingyi Zhou +5
LLM-based agents for program repair are increasingly built on a "generate-run-revise" paradigm, iteratively executing tests to evaluate and refine patches. This execution-based app…
Executing as You Generate: Hiding Execution Latency in LLM Code Interpreters
Zhensu Sun, Zhihao Lin, Zhi Chen +4
Current LLM systems are increasingly equipped with a code interpreter that executes generated code to obtain results. This works serially: the model first generates the complete co…
Exploring Code Analysis: Zero-Shot Insights on Syntax and Semantics with LLMs
Wei Ma, Zhihao Lin, Shangqing Liu +8
Code analysis is fundamental in Software Engineering, supporting debugging, optimization, and security assessment. Human developers approach it through syntax parsing, static seman…
