abstract
Large language models (LLMs) and transformer-based architectures are increasingly utilized for source code analysis. As software systems grow in complexity, integrating LLMs into code analysis workflows becomes essential for enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and automation. This paper explores the role of LLMs for different code analysis tasks, focusing on three key aspects: 1) what they can analyze and their applications, 2) what models are used and 3) what datasets are used, and the challenges they face. Regarding the goal of this research, we investigate scholarly articles that explore the use of LLMs for source code analysis to uncover research developments, current trends, and the intellectual structure of this emerging field. Additionally, we summarize limitations and highlight essential tools, datasets, and key challenges, which could be valuable for future work.

Fine-tuning small LLMs for Dart decompilation yields no functional improvement and surface metrics can diverge from correctness.
PrismaDV generates task-aware data unit tests by jointly analyzing downstream code and dataset profiles, outperforming task-agnostic baselines on new benchmarks spanning 60 tasks, with SIFTA enabling automatic prompt optimization that beats hand-written prompts.
ORBIT achieves 100% compilation success and 91.7% test success on 24 mostly large programs from CRUST-Bench by using dependency-aware orchestration and iterative verification, outperforming prior static and baseline tools.
LLM4CodeRE adapts LLMs with multi-adapter and seq2seq fine-tuning for accurate assembly-to-source decompilation and reverse translation in code reverse engineering.
SafeTrans achieves up to 80% successful C-to-Rust translations via LLM iterative repair on 2653 programs and two real projects, with some C vulnerabilities carrying over to the Rust output.
Framework uses eight LLMs for code documentation generation and four LLMs as judges on nine criteria, showing 42% performance gap on medical physics library.
Survey mapping LLM applications in software quality assurance to established standards including ISO/IEC 12207, ISO 25010, CMMI, and TMM, with case studies, challenges, and future directions.
