Modern software projects rely on build systems and build scripts to assemble executable
artifacts correctly and efficiently. However, developing build scripts is error-prone …

Build process is crucial in software development. However, the analysis support for build
code is still limited. In this paper, we present SYMake, an infrastructure and tool for the …

Researchers, students and practitioners often encounter a situation when the build process
of a third-party software system fails. In this paper, we aim to confirm this observation present …

As a software project ages, its source code is modified to add new features, restructure
existing ones, and fix defects. These source code changes often induce changes in the build …

Build systems specify how source code is translated into deliverables. They require
continual maintenance as the system they build evolves. This build maintenance can …

Software build systems specify how source code is transformed into deliverables. Keeping
build systems in sync with the software artifacts that they build while retaining their capacity …

The maintenance of build systems imposes a considerable overhead on software
development. Since automated quality assurance methods are rarely applied to build …

When software is maintained and evolved the build configuration also needs to be updated.
Knowing when to update the build configuration is typically done manually with the risk of …

Modern scientific software stacks have become extremely complex, using many
programming models and libraries to exploit a growing variety of GPUs and accelerators …

Software building is an important task during software development. However, program
analysis support for build code is still limited, especially for build code written in a dynamic …
