Specification-Based Code-Text-Code Reengineering for LLM-Mediated Software Evolution 文章

arXiv:2605.25232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Direct Code2Code transformation remains challenging to control because it can preserve surface-level syntax while introducing semantic drift, hidden behavioral changes, loss of traceability, non-idiomatic target implementations, or incomplete reconstruction of domain logic. This paper proposes a specification-based Code2Text2Code reengineering framework for LLM-mediated software evolution. The central idea is to transform source code into a neutral textual specification that captures program behavior, identifiers, computational flow, conditions, side effects, data dependencies, and domain-specific intent without directly transferring the source language syntax.
