Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for compiler independent identification of application components. A procedure in a compiled binary application is identified. Then, a first compiler independent hash value for the procedure is generated, the compiler independent hash value representing a set of memory dereferences occurring in a heap, and the set of memory dereferences relying in part on a set of inputs for the procedure. Next, it is determined whether the first compiler independent hash value matches a second compiler independent hash value associated with a known procedure in a known source code file.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating conversion of an application from a block-based persistence model to a byte-based persistence model are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system can receive source code of the application and automatically identify data structures in the source code that are part of the application's semantic persistent state. The computer system can then output a list of data types corresponding to the identified data structures.

Abstract: Methods and systems to sample event messages are described. As event messages are generated by one or more sources, the event messages are stored in a storage queue. An event message policy that represents conditions for storing event messages in a sample log file are input. For each event message output from the storage queue, the event message may be stored in a sample log file when one or more of the conditions of the event message policy are satisfied. The event messages of the sample log file may be displayed in a graphical user interface that enables a user to change the event message policy.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the present invention, an interactive system employs sets of interior design guidelines. In an embodiment, the user begins by specifying the shape of a room and the set of furniture that must be arranged within it. The user then interactively moves furniture pieces. In response, the system suggests a set of furniture layouts that follow the interior design guidelines. The user can interactively select a suggestion and move any piece of furniture to modify the layout.
