ScopeMut: A Compact Reproducibility Artifact For Scope++ C++ Mutation Generation

ScopeMut is the public artifact release of our C++ mutation-generation pipeline built from the current Scope++ implementation. The package is intentionally compact and reproducibility-oriented: instead of mirroring the full research repository, it retains only the components required to replay the C++ slicing and generation workflow reported in our paper.

Included in the artifact:

• the current Java implementation of the Scope++ C++ path;
• BraceMatcher.java, which is required for the slice stage that precedes mutation;
• grammar/cpp and associated generation statistics files;
• runnable PowerShell wrappers for slicing, generation, local checking, and Zenodo release automation;
• an issue-driven seed corpus containing the minimal reproducers corresponding to the evaluation cases discussed in the paper.

The artifact supports a reviewer-oriented workflow: prepare the issue reproducers, slice them through BraceMatcher, launch ScopeMut generation from the resulting slice corpus, and inspect or compile the generated programs using the bundled helper scripts.
