Publication number: 20200183667Abstract: Efficient immutable syntax representation with parent pointers under incremental change is enabled by creating a data structure comprising at least one tree structure that allows both upward and downward references in the tree and a tree structure that is immutable (read-only), and allows parts of itself to be re-used in other data structures. The data structure described enables tools to search and target particular sub trees. The fragment of the tree representing the targeted sub tree is produced as it is used. The rest of the tree is not produced. The read-only tree retains relative information, allowing it to be reassembled and shared.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Matthew J. Warren, Avner Y. Aharoni, Mads Torgersen, Renaud Paquay, Neal M. Gafter, Jared Parsons, David N. Schach, Aleksey V. Tsingauz, Peter Golde, Kevin Pilch-Bisson, Karen Liu

Patent number: 8533693Abstract: An architecture that that extends conventional computer programming languages that compile into an instance of an extensible markup language (XML) document object model (DOM) to provide support for XML literals in the underlying programming language. This architecture facilitates a convenient short cut by replacing the complex explicit construction required by conventional systems to create an instance of a DOM with a concise XML literal for which conventional compilers can translate into the appropriate code. The architecture allows these XML literals to be embedded with expressions, statement blocks or namespaces to further enrich the power and versatility. In accordance therewith, context information describing the position and data types that an XML DOM can accept can be provided to the programmer via, for example, an integrated development environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Henricus Johannes Maria Meijer, David N.

Patent number: 8479178Abstract: A batch compiler is employed to enable compilation of code provided at runtime. A managed application receives code during execution and invokes the compiler to transform the code to enable it to execute within the context of the receiving application. Among other things, employment of a batch compiler preserves investments made to such compilers while also opening up new scenarios in application scripting and/or hosting that are otherwise unavailable.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Avner Y.

Patent number: 8464233Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for compile time interpretation of markup codes. Embodiments of the invention can be used to specify custom behaviors to be taken in response to any of a number of ways that markup codes (e.g., XML data) can be constructed and in response to any number of ways that markup codes can be accessed. At compile time, the construction of objects and/or the modes of access for objects using mark up codes are known. As such, the compiler, type-system and development environment can use a known set of custom behaviors to regulate or give feedback on what constructions or modes of access are allowed, and what their characteristics are.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2010Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Lucian Jules Wischik, Avner Y.

Patent number: 8423588Abstract: Reshaping of streams is provided to facilitate utilizing the streams without rapidly increasing memory requirements as the size of the stream increases. The streams can be pushed to alternative storage upon being reshaped, for example, such as to a persistent storage. If the streams lose structure, for example if a hierarchical stream is reshaped into a flat structure for storage in a database, structural information can be stored along with the streams and utilized to shape the stream to its original structure upon request for data, for example. Streams can be pulled from an exposing device or application, and portions of the stream can be transformed and stored according to a set of stop elements; the stop elements can be associated with functions that take action on the stream upon reaching a stop element, such as transforming and storing a portion thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Avner Y.

Patent number: 8201155Abstract: User assemblies can be created by a compiler that can handle more than one type definition during execution. Local copies are created for respective authoritative types in a code library, and the local copies are marked with a local type identifier. An authoritative type identifier (e.g., a globally unique identifier (GUID)) is copied from the authoritative type to the local type, and functions and properties associated with the local type are also copied from the authoritative type. Authoritative types are resolved for requested types when a local assembly references a local type from a compiled user assembly. The local type can be identified by a local type identifier, and an authoritative type can be retrieved from the code library that has a same authoritative type identifier as the requested type. A local copy of the retrieved authoritative type can be copied to the local assembly under compilation. The compiler can then emit user assemblies that comprise merely local types.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2009Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Avner Y.
