• Abstract: This paper explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and in particular ChatGPT in programming, source code analysis, and code generation. LLMs and ChatGPT are built using machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, and they offer several benefits to developers and programmers. While these models can save time and provide highly accurate results, they are not yet advanced enough to replace human programmers entirely. The paper investigates the potential applications of LLMs and ChatGPT in various areas, such as code creation, code documentation, bug detection, refactoring, and more. The paper also suggests that the usage of LLMs and ChatGPT is expected to increase in the future as they offer unparalleled benefits to the programming community.

  We propose CodeGRAG, a Graphical Retrieval Augmented Code Generation framework to enhance the performance of LLMs. CodeGRAG builds the graphical view of code blocks based on the control flow and data flow of them to fill the gap between programming languages and natural language. Various experiments and ablations are done on four datasets including both the C++ and python languages to validate the hard meta-graph prompt, the soft prompting technique, and the effectiveness of the objectives for pretrained GNN expert.

  We conduct an observational study of 24 professional software engineers who have been using ChatGPT over a period of one week in their jobs. We find that, rather than expecting ChatGPT to generate ready-to-use software artifacts (e.g., code), practitioners more often use ChatGPT to receive guidance on how to solve their tasks or learn about a topic in more abstract terms.

  We investigate whether Large Language Models (LLMs) attend to the same parts of a task description as human programmers during code generation. We manually analyzed 211 incorrect code snippets and found five attention patterns that can be used to explain many code generation errors. Our findings highlight the need for human-aligned LLMs for better interpretability and programmer trust.
