  • Program analysis based on program descriptors
    Patent number: 9875090
    Abstract: A deployment package descriptor may be obtained. One or more application files that include application content in a plurality of different data formats may be obtained. An analysis of the application content included in the obtained one or more application files may be initiated, based on a plurality of different data formats and descriptive information associated with the obtained application files, the descriptive information included in the obtained deployment package descriptor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 23, 2018
    Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC
    Inventors: Michael C. Fanning, Frederico Mameri, Christopher M. H. Faucon
  • Code dependency calculation
    Patent number: 9122490
    Abstract: Generation of a dependency graph for code that includes code portions such as resources or functions or both. For some or all of the nodes, the dependency is calculated by determining that the given node, a depending node, depends on an affecting node. The dependency is recorded so as to be associated with the node. Furthermore, the dependency calculation method is recorded so as to be associated with the dependency. The code may perhaps include portions within two different domains, in which the mechanism for calculating dependencies may differ. In some cases, the dependency graph may be constructed in stages, and perhaps additional properties may be associated with the node, and metadata of the properties may also be recorded.

  • Dynamic injection of code into running process
    Patent number: 8539506
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of dynamically injecting code into a running process. For instance, the techniques are capable of causing arbitrary code to be activated in the process while the process is running in response to receipt of a request for dynamic execution of the arbitrary code from outside the process while the process is running.
