Publication number: 20240095027Abstract: Static analysis of a code base is expanded beyond finding faults to also find code instances where a particular fault could have occurred but did not. A conformance count reflects code portions that satisfy a specified coding rule per static analysis, and a nonconformance count reflects code portions that do not satisfy the coding rule. Various metrics computed from the conformance count and nonconformance count drive software development quality assessments. For example, bugs or bug categories may be prioritized for developer attention, static analysis tools are evaluated based on the metrics, to reduce noise by eliminating low-value bug alerts. Particular areas of expertise of developers and developer groups are objectively identified. Source code editors are enhanced to provide specific recommendations in context. Other quality enhancements are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Michael C. FANNING, Suvam MUKHERJEE, Danielle Nicole GONZALEZ, Christopher Michael Henry FAUCON, Pragya PRAKASH

Patent number: 11675768Abstract: Compression of data that permits direct reconstruction of arbitrary portions of the uncompressed data. Also, the direct reconstruction of arbitrary portions of the uncompressed data. Conventional compression is done such that decompression has to begin either at the very beginning of the data, or at particular intervals (e.g., at block boundaries—every 64 kilobytes) within the data. However, the principles described herein permit decompression to begin at any point within the compressed data, without having to decompress any prior portion of the file. Thus, the principles described herein permit random access of the compressed data. In accordance with the principles described herein, this is accomplished by using an index that correlates positions within the uncompressed data with positions within the compressed data.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Scott M. Louvau, Michael C. Fanning

Patent number: 11663245Abstract: Partial initial construction of a deferred object model. This is done using a map that correlates positions of a hierarchically structured definition and corresponding hierarchical positions within an object model. The map is accessed and used to initially construct a deferred object model that even leaves some of the deferred objects unpopulated. The map is used to determine which parts of the hierarchical object definition no longer need to be parsed in order to construct this initial form of the deferred object model. If a request for an object is detected at some point after the initial construction, and that requested object is not represented even in deferred form in the deferred object model, the system uses the map to find the position of the corresponding object definition in the hierarchical object definition. At that point, the system parses that position, and constructs the object.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Scott M. Louvau, Michael C. Fanning

Patent number: 11294878Abstract: A data structure that includes border data structures that appear at the respective interfaces between each of at least some of the segments in the data structure. The border does not conform to a data format for any of the elemental data types of the elemental data items represented within the data structure, and does not represent a size of any of the neighboring segments. Second, the data structure also includes an index. When writing the data structure, the writer tracks the position of each of the regions. When all segments and regions have been written, the writer can then write an index that represents the position of each region. The reader can then use that index to quickly read from only those regions of interest, and quickly skip over regions not of interest.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Scott M. Louvau, Michael C. Fanning
