Abstract: A computer readable medium including computer readable code for causing a computer system to perform a method. The method includes receiving an application, receiving application information for the application, and determining an access privilege for the application based, in part, on the application information. The method also includes generating a deployment package for the application using the application and the access privilege, and publishing the application.

Abstract: A compiler receives source code for a program and determines that the code includes a declaration expression and an initialization expression in an assignment context. The declaration expression introduces a variable and specifies part of a parameterized type for the variable but not another part of the parameterized type. A parameterized type may include a ground type part and one or more type arguments; in a declaration expression, the specified part of the parameterized type may include a ground type and the unspecified part may include one or more of the type arguments. The initialization expression specifies an initial value for the variable, where the value has a parameterized type. The assignment context associates the declared variable with the initial value. The compiler infers the type for the variable based at least on the part specified in the declaration expression and on the type specified by the initialization expression.

Abstract: A garbage collector determines a target amount of heap space to deallocate, estimates an amount of heap space reachable by a plurality of soft references by determining a cumulative size of no more than an exploration bound N number of objects reachable from each soft reference, and deallocates heap space based on the target amount and the estimate of the heap space reachable from the soft references. Deallocating heap space may include clearing at least one soft reference. If the estimate is inaccurate, it may be utilized regardless or modified to account for inaccuracy. The least-recently-used or the largest soft reference may be cleared until the total cleared space reachable exceeds the target amount. By performing a bounded analysis, the garbage collector may be able to make a more informed decision about whether to clear a soft reference without consuming the full amount of resources consumed by an exhaustive analysis.
