Abstract: Techniques to facilitate prevention of just-in-time (JIT) translations of application functions are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a JIT translation function of an operating system is modified in memory to redirect the JIT translation function to execute alternative code when the JIT translation function is called. When the JIT translation function is called for an application function, the alternative code is executed to determine whether the application function has been modified. When the alternative code determines that the application function has been modified, the JIT translation function is prevented from translating the application function into a native machine code version. When the alternative code determines that the application function has not been modified, the JIT translation function is allowed to translate the application function into the native machine code version.

Abstract: Techniques to bypass system context checks to facilitate opening shared-object libraries are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a copy of a header of a shared-object library loaded by a runtime system is created. The header of the shared-object library loaded by the runtime system is patched with code configured to call an open function, wherein the code patched into the header of the shared-object library executes and calls the open function from the shared-object library loaded by the runtime system, the call to the open function is recognized as within a context of the runtime system, and the shared-object library is allowed to be opened. A pointer to the shared-object library opened in memory is received, and the header of the shared-object library is restored to an original version using the copy of the header of the shared-object library.

Abstract: A method includes displaying information on a touch-sensitive display and displaying an indicator at a first location in the information, detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, a first touch input associated with the indicator, in response to detecting the first touch input, moving the indicator from the first location to a second location in the information, wherein the second location is based on an increment level of the indicator, detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, a second touch input associated with the indicator, increasing the increment level of the indicator, and moving the indicator from the second location to a third location, wherein the third location is based on the increased increment level.

Abstract: A method comprises displaying, by an electronic device, a first string corresponding to a received input sequence, determining whether the first string comprises a first part of a complete storage address following a predetermined address convention, and responsive to the determining, displaying a second string associated with the first string and following the predetermined address convention. The second string is a second part of the complete storage address, and the complete storage address further comprises a third part following the second part.
