Exploring Code Analysis: Zero-Shot Insights on Syntax and Semantics with LLMs

ArXi:2305.12138v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Code analysis is fundamental in Software Engineering, ing debugging, optimization, and security assessment. Human developers approach it through syntax parsing, static semantics inference, and dynamic reasoning. Traditional tools are effective but limited by language specificity and weak cross-language generalization. Large language models (LLMs) are promising for code tasks, yet their capabilities for fundamental code analysis remain underexplored.
