Abstract: Example systems and methods of displaying semantic layers of source code of a computer program are presented. In one example, a user selection of a first portion of the source code is received. The first portion is displayed in a first display area and corresponds to a first semantic layer of the source code. A user command referring to a second portion of the source code related to the first portion is received, with the second portion corresponding to a second semantic layer of the source code. In response to the user command, a second display area for the second portion of the source code is displayed to indicate a relationship between the first and second portions while indicating a difference in semantic layers between the first and second portions.

Abstract: A processing device determines a memory layout for an executable comprising a plurality of functions and data, wherein the memory layout is determined based on one or more object files. The processing device updates the memory layout by inserting an unused memory region between a first function and a second function of the plurality of functions in the memory layout, wherein the first function and the second function have adjacent memory locations in the memory layout prior to insertion of the unused memory region. The processing device resolves references between the plurality of functions. The processing device then generates an executable comprising the plurality of functions and the data arranged in accordance with the memory layout, the executable having the resolved references.

Abstract: A method for the computer-aided generation of at least one part of an executable control program, particularly a measuring, control, regulating, and/or calibration program, for controlling a control system having at least one electronic processor unit is provided. The functionality of the control program is described at least partially in at least one graphical model and the graphical model is divided in hierarchical levels into submodels. A submodel can be divided nested into submodels of a lower hierarchical level, whereby values for options for the compiling of the graphical model to program code are preset and program code is generated from the model co-compiled to the executable control program. Values for options for the compiling of the graphical model to program code and to the executable control program can be preset thereby granularly with the automatic avoidance of conflicting presettings of values for these options.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically identifying changes in deliverable files may include (1) identifying, within first and second versions of a program file, at least one post-file-header section that is located after a file header of the program file, (2) locating, within the post-file-header section of the first version of the program file, a first set of characters that correspond to at least one data field that is known to potentially change between builds of the program file even when source code of the program file has not changed, (3) locating, within the post-file-header section of the second version of the program file, a second set of characters that correspond to the data field, and (4) masking both the first and second sets of characters from a comparison between the first and second versions of the file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product manages a set of software modules in a software runtime environment, where the set of software modules has one or more dynamic dependencies and one or more static dependencies. Each software module having a static dependency on another software module in a set of software modules is identified. Each subset of the set of software modules that is interdependent with another subset due to static dependencies between subsets is identified. In response to a change in state of a module in an identified subset, the change in state is applied to all modules in the identified subset.

Abstract: An optimizing compiler includes a strength reduction mechanism that optimizes a computer program that includes operations that have an unknown stride by analyzing the instructions in the computer program in a single pass, determining whether instruction substitution is profitable for original instructions in the code, and performing instruction substitution for one or more original instructions for which instruction substitution is deemed profitable, including operations with unknown strides. The substituted instructions result in strength reduction in the computer program.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a breakpoint in a line of source code includes encountering the breakpoint and evaluating whether the breakpoint is at the start of the line. If the breakpoint is at the start of the line, then the debugger stops at the breakpoint and tracks the breakpoint. If the breakpoint is not at the start of the line, then the debugger evaluates whether the breakpoint is reached via a back branch. If the breakpoint is not at the start of the line and is reached via a back branch, then the debugger stops at the breakpoint and tracks the breakpoint. If the breakpoint is not at the start of the line and is not a back branch target, then the debugger passes the breakpoint and tracks the breakpoint.

Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes components and features for enabling enterprise users to securely access enterprise resources (documents, data, application servers, etc.) using their mobile devices. An enterprise can use some or all components of the system to, for example, securely but flexibly implement a BYOD (bring your own device) policy in which users can run both personal applications and secure enterprise applications on their mobile devices. The system may, for example, implement policies for controlling mobile device accesses to enterprise resources based on device attributes (e.g., what mobile applications are installed), user attributes (e.g., the user's position or department), behavioral attributes, and other criteria.

Abstract: A technology is described for a software container recommendation service. An example method may include collecting utilization metrics for an application hosted on a computing instance. The utilization metrics may be a measure of computing resources used by the application. The utilization metrics may be analyzed to determine a level of computing resources for the computing instance used by the application. A software container configuration for the application may be determined based at least in part on the utilization metrics when analysis of the utilization metrics indicates an underutilization of computing resources by the application. The specifications of the software container configuration may then be provided to a customer.

Abstract: A method for implementing a step over operation by a debugger for an instruction in a routine includes receiving a step over command for an instruction and determining whether the instruction is a branch used for a function call. If the instruction is not a branch used for a function call, then the debugger treats the instruction as not a function call. If the instruction is a branch used for a function call, then the debugger determines whether the instruction is generated from source code. If the instruction is not generated from source code, then the debugger treats the instruction as not a function call. If the instruction is generated from source code, then the debugger treats the instruction as a function call.
