Patent number: 9632909Abstract: User script code that is developed to be run in a host application, for example, as a macro can be transformed into debuggable code so that the host application may continue to operate during a debugging stop operation. Traceback methods can be created that call back into the host application to allow the host application to cooperatively operate and update its user-interface. The user script code can be transformed by injecting callbacks to the traceback methods at respective locations in the code where a stopping operation may be installed during debugging. Further, two or more debugging features can be combined into a single user script code transform using an iterator pattern function.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2008Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jonathon Michael Stall, Anthony L. Crider, Igor A Zinkovsky

Patent number: 9064049Abstract: A server exposes debugger services to a plurality of debugger clients. One or more debugger clients can select a debug operation and establish a debug session in a thread of a server process for debugging user code. A two-way debug communication pipeline can be established between a debugger client and the server using standard encoding protocols and standard network transport protocols. A two-way debug communication pipeline can be established using HTTP where the server can initiate a communication with the debugger client using a long polling technique. When one of the threads of the server process is suspended, the other threads in the server process continue to execute.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Igor A. Zinkovsky, Marcin Sawicki, Jonathon Michael Stall, Anthony L. Crider, Thomas E. Quinn, Jr.

Patent number: 9047405Abstract: User script code that has been developed for execution in a host application can be remapped to debuggable script code, based on explicit debugging gestures, allowing for appropriate debugging coverage for the code while mitigating execution (in)efficiency issues. Capabilities of a virtual machine used for a host application can be determined, and the user script code can be instrumented with guards for detecting explicit debugging gestures based on capabilities of the virtual machine. The instrumented user script code can be executed in a runtime environment, for example, by a just-in-time compilation service. If an explicit debugging gesture is detected, a function where the gesture was detected can be transformed into debuggable script code, in one embodiment, based on the debuggable gesture detected.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jonathon Michael Stall, Anthony L. Crider, Igor A Zinkovsky, James Hugunin

Patent number: 8490050Abstract: A communications schema is captured into a service-neutral interface schema created by inspecting metadata received from an object and creating from it an abstract user interface model. A transform is applied to the abstract user interface model to generate a user interface that targets a particular user interface technology. Any user interface technology can be targeted so that a user interface for any user interface technology can be auto-generated.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2008Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anthony L. Crider, Stephen Schwink

Patent number: 8271958Abstract: User script code that has been developed for execution in a host application can be remapped to debuggable script code, based on explicit debugging gestures, allowing for appropriate debugging coverage for the code while mitigating execution (in)efficiency issues. Capabilities of an application virtual machine used for the host application can be determined, and the user script code can be instrumented with guards for detecting explicit debugging gestures based on a virtual machine's (VM') capabilities. The instrumented user script code can be executed in a runtime environment, for example, by a just-in-time compilation service. If an explicit debugging gesture is detected, a function where the gesture was detected can be transformed into debuggable script code, in one embodiment, based on the debuggable gesture detected.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jonathon Michael Stall, Anthony L.
