Abstract: A compiler can instrument a program during the front end of compilation to collect data about runtime behavior when the program is executed. Instrumentation can occur during source language processing rather than later in the compilation chain. The instrumentation can occur in between semantic analysis and code generation. The instrumentation can occur in an instrumenting rewriting phase. The instrumentation can occur in a first lowering phase in which high level constructs in a programming language are rewritten as lower level constructs in intermediate representation (IR). The compiler can inject the instrumentation code at particular points in the source code based on specified language constructs in the source program. The types of instrumentation injected can be extended by providing additional information to the compiler at compilation time, without the need to reprogram the compiler.

Abstract: A computing device is provided, including a display and a processor. The processor may be configured to execute a source code authoring application program. The processor may be further configured to output a graphical user interface (GUI) of the source code authoring application program for display on the display. The processor may be further configured to receive source code including one or more code instructions at an editor window included in the GUI. The editor window may provide real-time mark-up of the source code. At a compiler platform, the processor may be further configured to determine that the source code includes at least one test method based on at least one syntactic test method indicator or symbolic test method indicator included in the source code. The processor may be further configured to output a notification of the at least one test method for display on the display.

Abstract: When a user enters text into an application, the application can utilize an auto-complete feature to provide the user with estimations as to a complete term a user is attempting to enter into the application. Visualization can be provided along with an estimation to disclose the likelihood the estimation is what the user intends to enter. Furthermore, a rationale can be provided to the user for the reason an estimation was provided to the user.

Abstract: Intelligent assistance functionality is provided in development environments and/or other editors for schematized data. Input of a trigger character sequence can initiate an intelligent assistance box having data corresponding to a related schema. Thus, the intelligent assistance data can be dynamic as schematized data can change; the data can be queried from the schema as requested to facilitate this end. In one embodiment, the data can be an extensible markup language (XML) schema having a plurality of elements. In this regard, syntax can be entered into a development environment to effectuate an intelligent assistance box comprising the elements of the schema; a root level element can be displayed for an initial trigger character sequence. After selecting the element, another trigger sequence can be input to facilitate querying the schema for next level elements, and so on.
