  • Sethesaurus: Wordnet in Software Engineering
    This is the author's version of an article that has been published in this journal. Changes were made to this version by the publisher prior to publication. The final version of record is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TSE.2019.2940439 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, VOL. 14, NO. 8, AUGUST 2015 1 SEthesaurus: WordNet in Software Engineering Xiang Chen, Member, IEEE, Chunyang Chen, Member, IEEE, Dun Zhang, and Zhenchang Xing, Member, IEEE, Abstract—Informal discussions on social platforms (e.g., Stack Overflow, CodeProject) have accumulated a large body of programming knowledge in the form of natural language text. Natural language process (NLP) techniques can be utilized to harvest this knowledge base for software engineering tasks. However, consistent vocabulary for a concept is essential to make an effective use of these NLP techniques. Unfortunately, the same concepts are often intentionally or accidentally mentioned in many different morphological forms (such as abbreviations, synonyms and misspellings) in informal discussions. Existing techniques to deal with such morphological forms are either designed for general English or mainly resort to domain-specific lexical rules. A thesaurus, which contains software-specific terms and commonly-used morphological forms, is desirable to perform normalization for software engineering text. However, constructing this thesaurus in a manual way is a challenge task. In this paper, we propose an automatic unsupervised approach to build such a thesaurus. In particular, we first identify software-specific terms by utilizing a software-specific corpus (e.g., Stack Overflow) and a general corpus (e.g., Wikipedia). Then we infer morphological forms of software-specific terms by combining distributed word semantics, domain-specific lexical rules and transformations.

  • PHP 5 Power Programming by Andi Gutmans, Stig Bakken, and Derick Rethans
    PHP 5 Content provided in partnership with Prentice Hall PTR, from the book PHP 5 Power Programming by Andi Gutmans, Stig Bakken, and Derick Rethans Introduction Following the huge success of its predecessors, PHP 5 brings many significant improvements to the most popular web scripting language on the globe. The book PHP 5 Power Programming, written by Stig Bakken, Derick Rethans, and myself, provides readers with an in-depth view of this new PHP version right from its source. The foundation of PHP 5 is the new Zend Engine II scripting engine, which not only features a completely new and feature rich object oriented paradigm, but also provides the infrastructure for other significant changes such as great improvements in PHP's support for XML technologies. This article gives you a very short overview of PHP 5 and what makes it so great. New OO Features The OO model of PHP 5 has been completely rewritten. Not only does the move from objects being native types to objects being handles give much more clarity on when objects are created, cloned, and destroyed, but it also allowed us to implement many new OO features which are common in traditional OO languages. There are far too many features to cover, but the following list gives you the highlights: • As mentioned, PHP objects are now based on handles, which allows for clear-cut object constructors, clone methods and destructors • The PHP object syntax can be completely overloaded by PHP extension authors, allowing the efficient implementation of important new features such as SimpleXML and the native SOAP extension, both of which are described later on • Both properties and methods support the common OO public/private/protected access modifiers (as well as final and static) • Abstract methods, abstract classes and interfaces • Exception handling ala try/throw/catch • Method return value de-referencing such as $obj->method1()->method2() This list is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more OO improvements, too numerous to cover in this short overview.

  • PHP Optimization Using Hip Hop Virtual Machine Chaitali Tambe, Pramod Pawar, Dashrath Mane Vivekanand Education Society Institute of Technology, Chembur
    International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Engineering & Technology (IJARCET) Volume 4 Issue 6, June 2015 PHP Optimization Using Hip Hop Virtual Machine Chaitali Tambe, Pramod Pawar, Dashrath Mane Vivekanand education society institute of technology, Chembur Abstract— HipHop compiler is PHP based compiler created facebook.com. PHP applications that were developed by facebook in order to optimize the php code and save using HipHop terminology resulted in increased speed of resources on the facebook server. HPHPc translates the php application. Several drawbacks of standalone php code into executable c++ code. Later facebook realized that applications were eliminated by using HPHPc, one of HPHPc had some snags which included resource consumption and parallel maintenance of HPHP and which was performance. HPHPi. In order to overcome the drawbacks of HPHPc A. Limitation of HPHPc: HipHop virtual machine was developed in 2011 which is a process virtual machine based on just-in-time (JIT) HPHPc did not fully support the PHP language, compilation, serving as an execution engine for PHP and including the create_function() and eval() Hack programming languages. HHVM provides complete constructs. support for the entire PHP language. This paper shows how HHVM is superior to other compilers like PHP, PHP 7 It involved a specific time and resource consuming and how various framework uses HHVM to optimize deployment process that required a bigger than php. In addition the lock-down approach shows the 1 GB binary to be compiled and distributed to behavior of each framework with hhvm and show how many servers in short orders. performance optimization can be obtained for heavy In addition, maintaining HPHPc and HPHPi in websites.
