Description
Summary:Automatically building programs has been a research goal for over 40 years. Code search technology, particularly code search combined with directed program transformations and validation, has the potential to address many of the problems related to automatic programming. In this position paper we outline an approach to using code search as a tool for generating moderate sized programs, define three problems that will need to be addressed, and describe our first steps toward solving those problems.
