Intermediate code is executable on a virtual machine. Hence, source code that is compiled on a first computing device can be distributed to a second computing device in an intermediate form as long as the second computing device has the appropriate virtual machine. In this way, the compilation can be done without regard to the underlying native processor on the second computing device. However, the intermediate code loses the original type information defined in the source code. By determining t...

An exemplary method includes parsing metadata associated with at least a portion of source code to construct a truncated parse tree; selecting a segment of the truncated parse tree; parsing metadata associated with the selected segment to construct one or more additional parse tree branches; and analyzing the truncated parse tree and the one or more additional parse tree branches. Such an exemplary method optionally includes generating code based, at least in part, on the analyzing and/or option...

A system and method are provided for encoding data in accordance with the present invention. The system includes a first subsystem for encoding a second data protocol within a formatted data protocol without disrupting display operations associated with the first data protocol. An encapsulation sequence is provided to isolate the second data protocol from the formatted data protocol, wherein a monitoring subsystem receives status from the first subsystem via the second data protocol.

To enhance portability of programming languages and compiled codes, methods and/or devices optionally compile a programming language code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework and/or convert a code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework. The aforementioned converters and/or methods include, but are not limited to, features for supporting framework differences in object hierarchy, exceptions, type characteristics, reflection t...

An exemplary upgrade module includes an upgrade wizard component, an upgrade analyzer component, and a source analyzer component wherein the upgrade wizard component operates in conjunction with an IDE to facilitate migration of source code or a project to the IDE or a runtime engine and/or OS associated with the IDE. An exemplary method includes selecting a source code or project written in a programming language associated with a native compiler that targets a native runtime engine, analyzing ...
