  • Automatically Detecting ORM Performance Anti-Patterns on C# Applications Tuba Kaya Master's Thesis 23–09-2015
    Automatically Detecting ORM Performance Anti-Patterns on C# Applications Tuba Kaya Master's Thesis 23–09-2015 Master Software Engineering University of Amsterdam Supervisors: Dr. Raphael Poss (UvA), Dr. Giuseppe Procaccianti (VU), Prof. Dr. Patricia Lago (VU), Dr. Vadim Zaytsev (UvA) i Abstract In today’s world, Object Orientation is adopted for application development, while Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) are used as default on the database layer. Unlike the applications, RDBMSs are not object oriented. Object Relational Mapping (ORM) tools have been used extensively in the field to address object-relational impedance mismatch problem between these object oriented applications and relational databases. There is a strong belief in the industry and a few empirical studies which suggest that ORM tools can cause decreases in application performance. In this thesis project ORM performance anti-patterns for C# applications are listed. This list has not been provided by any other study before. Next to that, a design for an ORM tool agnostic framework to automatically detect these anti-patterns on C# applications is presented. An application is developed according to the designed framework. With its implementation of analysis on syntactic and semantic information of C# applications, this application provides a foundation for researchers wishing to work further in this area. ii Acknowledgement I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Raphael Poss for his excellent support through the learning process of this master thesis. Also, I like to thank Dr. Giuseppe Procaccianti and Prof. Patricia Lago for their excellent supervision and for providing me access to the Green Lab at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

    Lab 1: Programming in C 1 Lab 1: Programming in C CS 273 Monday, 8-24-20 Revision 1.2 Preliminary material • Using manual pages. For example, % man gcc % man read % man 2 read Viewing online manual pages on a browser. • Similarities between C++ and C. C++ language shares most of its same basic syntax with C. Thus, simple variable declarations, assignments, loops, array access, function defini- tions/declarations/calls, etc. are written the essentially the same way in both languages. Much of the basic semantics is shared, also. Thus, a for loop behaves as expected, as does an expression statement, a function definition, etc.; also, operators have the same precedence and associativity. The two languages both use predefined types int, long, float, char, etc. In both languages, ASCII characters are represented as (8-bit) integer values, and simple strings are represented as arrays of characters terminated by nullbytes. Preprocessor directives (such as #include, #define, etc.) are used in both C and C++. • Differences between C++ and C. { C has no classes. Instead, you must use functions and variables to perform operations. It is still useful to use \interface modules" and \implementation modules" and to organize your program into packages that can be linked separately. However, there are no classes to define per se. C does provide struct (and union) for data structures. Unlike C++, a struct is not a class, but instead is a container for variables of various types. There are no methods, no constructors, no destructors, etc. { No overloading of functions or operators in C. Many conventional meanings of operators in C++ (such as <<) are no longer relevant.
