LZX-zx-em/CPP-Code-Dataset: C++-Eval Dataset v1.1.0

Sep 2026 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

C++-Eval: A C++ Evaluation Benchmark for Large Language Models C++-Eval is a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating the C++ code generation capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), with a focus on complex memory management and industrial-grade software engineering requirements. Dataset Statistics 200 multi-level C++ programming tasks, each with 20 human-authored, high-coverage test cases (boundary inputs, invalid inputs, exception handling) 6 engineering scenarios: basic data structures, classic algorithms, numerical computation, machine learning preprocessing, image and point cloud processing, and advanced object-oriented features 3 difficulty levels (basic / intermediate / advanced), classified by cognitive complexity and lines of code (LoC) Coverage of core C++ features and paradigms: OOP, generic programming, explicit memory management, and modern C++11 mechanisms Data Structure CPP.jsonl — one JSON object per line; each task includes the task description, complete function declarations (interface contract), and a test suite of ~20 cases Construction & Decontamination Task concepts curated from public platforms (LeetCode, Codewars, GitHub), followed by semantic-based manual verification Interface contract and signature refactoring to break verbatim prompt matching against public repositories Execution-based decontamination: all solutions compiled with g++ -std=c++11 and -fsanitize=address (AddressSanitizer) to capture low-level memory faults Evaluation Protocol Strict zero-shot prompting (see Appendix A.1 of the paper) Metrics: task-level error probability, compilation success rate, and task-level pass rate, with 95% Wilson score confidence intervals

The impact of agile practices on communication in software development

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

Requirements Don’t Live in Isolation: What We’re Exploring with Req-Space

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…
