# COBOLd

Fix your COBOL programs automatically with the power of genetic programming. 

# Demo

- Install a COBOL compiler:

`sudo apt-get install open-cobol`

- Install [GenProg](https://github.com/squaresLab/genprog-code)

- Clone this repository:

```

git clone https://github.com/squaresLab/COBOLd.git

```

- Compile `limit.c` in the `src` directory, naming the binary `limit`

```

cd COBOLd/src

gcc -o limit limit.c

```

- Then `cd` to the bug you'd like to repair and run GenProg using the

configuration file included with the bug:

```

cd COBOLd/code/zunebug

/path/to/genprog-code/src/repair configuration

```

It may take a few runs (the search is stochastic, after all!), but if GenProg

finds a repair it will report `repair found`, and output the repaired version of

the program to a `repair` subdirectory.
