LibvDiff-Dataset

We collected the source code of 9 widely used OSS from Github [13] and their official websites as Table 1 shows. These OSS can be categorized into different groups based on their functionality, such as document formatting, and compression. We compiled the source code into binaries using different compilation options, including
4 architectures (ARM, X86, X64, PPC) and 4 optimization levels (O0, O1, O2, O3) with GCC v9.4.0. In total, we obtained 168 distinct versions of all OSS, resulting in 2688 (168 * 16) binaries as shown in Table 1. 

Accept for the binary dataset, an extra dataset with feature and dataset example for quick start is also provided.

•  dataset_features_example.tar.gz: it includes features that we have already generated and can be evaluated quickly.
• OSS_version_dataset.tar.gz: it includes the binary dataset mentioned in our paper, including 9 OSS, 168 versions and 2688 binaries, more details could be found in our paper (Sec 6). 
• The source code of LibvDiff is available at heritage

The strucutre of dataset  is organized as:

- OSS   # e.g. freetype
   |-- Lib of OSS    # e.g. libfreetype
       |-- architecture   # e.g. ARM
           |-- optimization   # e.g. O0 
              |-- version   # e.g. VER-2-4-1
                  |-- binary   # e.g. freetype-2.4.0
