Abstract: Disclosed are a system, a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method of code analysis. Whether a destination ancestor of a destination data structure and the destination data structure are included in a live data table is determined. Also, whether a destination leaf-descendant of the destination data structure is included in a live descendant data table is determined. In response to either the destination ancestor or the destination data structure being included in the live data table, the live data table is updated to include the source data structure. In response to the destination leaf-descendant being included in the live descendant data table, the live data table and a symbol data table are updated to include a leaf-descendant of the source data structure that corresponds to the destination leaf-descendant. The symbol data table is provided to a data flow analyzer.

Abstract: A virtual application packaged for a specific executing environment may be executed on a processing device having an executing environment different from the specific executing environment. A reference, included in extracted installer metadata, to one or more key paths of a hierarchically-structured data store may be modified according to a set of rules related to the executing environment detected in the processing device. The modified extracted installer metadata may be provided to an installer for installing the virtual application. During execution of the virtual application, a request to read, write, or modify the hierarchically-structured data store may be intercepted and changed, such that a first key path included in the request may be mapped to a second key path, based on the detected executing environment. Similarly, a response to the request, which may include the second key path, may be intercepted and modified, to the first key path.

Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for tracking, on a position-by-position basis in a diverged code history associated with a diverged source stream, an origin source stream and an original position of code contained within the diverged source stream. Additionally, a modification may be detected with respect to a first portion of the code contained within the diverged source stream at a first position. In such a case, the modification and the first position may be automatically documented in the diverged code history.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a trace procedure, which traces execution of a computer program, where the program uses different callable modules. A program stack is used to store trace buffer information and an error state, and the modules include calls of the trace procedure. The method includes: (i) when entering execution of a module, storing the current write position of the trace buffer and a cleared error flag in the current frame of the stack; (ii) in case of an error condition during execution of the program, setting the error flag in the current frame; and (iii) when leaving execution of a module, determining if the error flag is set, and if not, then rewinding the trace buffer to the write position stored in the current frame, and deleting the current write position of the trace buffer and the error flag from the stack.

Abstract: A code analysis tool identifies a first and a second proposed code transformation (PCT) for respective expressions within a refactoring candidate section of source code, such that at least one PCT would result in an exercise of a target typing mechanism of the programming language being used. The determination of the data type of at least one of the expressions depends on the determination of the data type of the other. The tool generates a plurality of PCT combinations for the refactoring candidate section. In response to determining that a particular PCT combination meets acceptance criteria, a refactoring option which includes that PCT combination is recommended.

Abstract: A system and associated methods for enabling a tenant user of a multi-tenant computing platform to introduce an extension to the platform's functions and capabilities. A computing system, such as a distributed computing service platform, may manage independent customizations and/or extensions (collectively, “extensions”) of the service platform by multiple tenants in a manner that avoids undesirable behavior that may be caused by incompatible extensions. The service may accomplish this by requiring that a proposed extension provided by a tenant or extension vendor be accompanied by a formal declaration with respect to service platform component functionality and/or service platform data objects (collectively, “service platform resources”) that are utilized and/or modified by the extension. The service may further require that the extension be accompanied by validation code (e.g.
