  • Method and system for processing computer code
    Patent number: 11698776
    Abstract: An aspect provides a computer-implemented method for processing computer code. The method comprises receiving a first editable code set. In response to a first signal the method processes the first editable code set into first executable code by a first compiler within a first code processing path generating the first executable code. In response to a second signal the method both processes the first editable code set into a second editable code set, and processes the second editable code set into second executable code by a second compiler within a second code processing path generating the second executable code.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for identifying incompatibility between versions of compiled software code
    Patent number: 11562522
    Abstract: An aspect provides a computer-implemented method for compiling software code. The method comprises: receiving software code to compile; receiving a set of parameters associated with settings and software employed to compile the software code; forming a first hash of the set of parameters to establish a unique identification of the set of parameters used to compile the software code; and associating the first hash with the compiled code. A further aspect provides a computer-implemented method of checking compatibility of compiled software code.

  • OPERATING ANIMATION CONTROLS USING EVALUATION LOGIC
    Publication number: 20220028147
    Abstract: An aspect provides a computer-implemented method for operating animation controls associated with an animation control rig. The method comprises determining a node graph used to operate one or more animation controls; receiving an executable code object configured to replace at least two nodes disposed in the node graph at runtime, wherein the executable code object is configured to execute animation control inputs used to control the one or more animation controls at runtime as a single execution block configured to merge at least two data evaluation processes into a single data evaluation process to reduce execution overhead; processing the control data inputs using the executable code object; and operating the one or more animation controls with respect to the single execution instruction in response to the control data inputs.
