This paper introduces Late Code Chunking (LC^2), a chunking strategy designed to improve the semantic understanding of code segments for Large Language Models (LLMs). Repository-level code completion requires predicting the completion of unfinished code by leveraging cross-file context spread across a repository. However, when retrieved fragments have missing semantics—the loss of structural or behavioral information during chunking—LLMs struggle to interpret the target code. To address this, LC^2 refines retrieved chunks by constructing a dual context: a “Code Retrieval Context” optimized for similarity-based search, and a “Code Comprehension Context” that serves as a late enrichment step through context expansion and augmentation. This dual-context design reduces information loss due to chunking and enhances the ability of LLMs to utilize retrieved code. Additionally, we introduce an Asymmetric Query-Chunk Sizing strategy to further optimize retrieval quality by minimizing query noise. Our experiments demonstrate that LC^2 provides robust performance gains, achieving a statistically significant 19.7% improvement in Exact Match accuracy on the CrossCodeEval benchmark compared to the best existing chunking method.
