  • Patent number: 11714609
    Abstract: The present application discloses methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically generating source code implementing a regular expression. A regular expression that is defined within source code of an application project is identified. The source code uses a higher-level programming language. Based on identifying the regular expression, a source code implementation of the regular expression is automatically generated using the higher-level programming language, and the source code implementation of the regular expression is integrated into the application project. After integrating the source code implementation of the regular expression into the application project, the source code implementation of the regular expression is compiled into lower-level code and the lower-level code is emitted into an application executable when building the application project, or the source code implementation of the regular expression is interpreted when executing the application project.

The computing device may transmit code usable by the first set of one or more classes to a module accessible to the application and create a second set of one or more classes in the application to replace the first set of one or more classes, wherein the second set of one or more classes does not inherit from the first set of one or more classes in an object hierarchy. In some embodiments, the second set of one or more classes provides at least one different function from the first set of one or more classes. The computing device may execute the application comprising the second set of one or more classes.

  • Patent number: 10001920
    Abstract: In a data entry environment constrained by a symbolic grammar, a data entry position in the data set may be amenable to the insertion of a subset of symbols in compliance with the grammar. Also, the grammar may or may not permit the insertion of a value of one or more types at the data entry position of the data set. In order to facilitate grammatically correct data entry, a symbol list may be presented that indicates the grammatically valid symbols for the symbolic context of the data entry position, as well as the validity of the insertion of a value at the data entry position. The symbol list may also permit the selection of a symbol list option, and may insert the selected symbol or value at the data entry position. Various symbol list option selection inputs may be associated with the symbol list options to facilitate and economize data entry, and the association may be adapted based on whether or not a value is permitted at the data entry position.

  • Patent number: 9990213
    Abstract: Data Brick is a state of the art solution to access the data through high speed data access mechanism that is exceptionally fast and is associated with low CPU consumption cost. The Data Brick stores relatively static reference data in the form of a programming language Load Module. The Load module contains the data can be launched into the application program memory and this data can be accessed very efficiently in a programming language program. Static application data that is accessed by multiple applications in a mainframe Batch environment is a prime candidate for the Data Brick.

  • Patent number: 9990102
    Abstract: Icons representing a library of predefined media objects for insertion in a digital content work open for editing within a content creation and editing tool may be displayed in a graphical user interface of the content creation and editing tool. Thus, the content creation and editing tool may include an interface which displays, simultaneously, a presentation view and a code view of content comprising the digital content work along with icons representing the library of predefined media objects. Computer-readable code corresponding to a selected one of the library of predefined media objects may be inserted within the digital content work at a user-specified location, e.g., responsive to user action specifying a desire to insert code. Also, an explanation of a selected one of the media objects of the library may be displayed responsive to a user action.

  • Patent number: 9720653
    Abstract: In order for an in-app service providing system comprised of an in-app service server and a content server to provide a customized service to a user, when the in-app service server receives user information from a user terminal of the user, it checks whether or not the received user information has been previously stored. When the user information has been stored, user log information corresponding to the user information is received from the content server, and the in-app service server selects content to be provided to the user based on the user information and the user log information. When the content server generates a template including content, the in-app service server provides the template to the user terminal, thus providing a user-customized service.

    Abstract: In general, embodiments of the invention provide an approach to discover and enforce coding conventions among a group of developers. Specifically, source code files for a group of developers are imported from a code repository. The source code files are analyzed to discover the commonly used coding conventions of the group. Convention templates are generated based on these coding conventions. Each convention template is assigned a weighted value, and the convention templates are reviewed and approved based on the weighted value.

  • Patent number: 9672012
    Abstract: A process and associated system for code validation using content assist. A first list of items is presented to a code developer who is writing software code during operation of a content assist in an integrated development environment (IDE). Each item of the first list of items is enabled for validation and is a function or code method which generates a result upon being executed. An item selected by the developer from the first list of items is received during the operation of the content assist. A result for the selected item is generated by (i) executing the selected item using at least one value received as input from the developer during the operation of the content assist and (ii) ascertaining whether executing the selected item requires prior initialization of a value of a variable. During the operation of the content assist, the result is displayed to the developer.
