ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for minimizing code duplication in a statically typeable language program is presented. A plurality of trees of functional instructions for a program are received, each of the plurality of trees including at least one functional node. The plurality of trees of functional instructions for a program are compared and similar trees of functional instructions are merged to eliminate similar function nodes. A combined module is produced from results of the merging, the combined module having code duplication removed therefrom.
