  • Publication number: 20140373027
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for facilitating lifetime management of dynamically created child applications and/or for managing dependencies between a set of applications of an application package. In an example, a parent application may dynamically create a child application. A child lifetime of the child application may be managed independently and/or individually from lifetimes of other applications with which the child application does not have a dependency relationship. In another example, an application within an application package may be identified as a dependency application that may provide functionality depended upon by another application, such as a first application, within the application package. A dependency lifetime of the dependency application may be managed according to a first lifetime of the first application. In this way, lifetimes (e.g., initialization, execution, suspension, termination, etc.

  • Patent number: 8776093
    Abstract: An application programming interface (API) that leverages operating system instrumentation to provide a chain of threads and processes may alleviate some debugging complications. Specifically, the chain may start with the first thread in the process that experienced the original failure and end with the last thread upon which the first thread directly or indirectly depends. The API may aid debugging efforts by classifying all threads related or dependent upon an original failed thread into specific categories of failures, requesting further information from the originating OS concerning specific failed threads, and using that information to debug the failed application or process more thoroughly.
