Patent number: 9424163Abstract: Just My Code debugging allows developers to work on problems within their own code without noise from libraries, plugins and other unrelated code. Typical debugger behaviors may be modified based upon the identification or characterization of JavaScript code as “My Code,” “Library Code,” or “Unrelated Code.” The debugger behaviors that may be modified depending upon the code's characterization include, for example, first-chance exception handling, unhandled exception handling, the behavior of the debugger at explicit user breakpoints, the behavior when a user directs the debugger to break upon the next statement, and the behavior of the debugger when the user executes a stepping gesture. The debugger's visualizes core elements of the program state, such as the call stack, depending upon the identification or characterization of the code.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Robert A. Paveza, Patrick Nelson, Samuel Ng, Gregg B. Miskelly, Gearard Boland

Patent number: 9239774Abstract: Just My Code debugging allows developers to work on problems within their own code without noise from libraries, plugins and other unrelated code. Typical debugger behaviors may be modified based upon the identification or characterization of JavaScript code as “My Code,” “Library Code,” or “Unrelated Code.” The debugger behaviors that may be automatically determined using heuristics or set using a code-characterization file provided by a host application. The debugger receives project file information from the host application via a debugger-host interface. The debugger applies code-designation heuristics to undesignated code segments. If a code characterization file is received with the project information, the debugger designates application code segments based upon definitions in the code-characterization file. Once the debugger has characterized the code segments, it performs debugging operations on the application code.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Robert A.

Patent number: 8423961Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for simulating operations through out-of-process execution. When a diagnostic operation is to be performed for a target execution context, a separate execution context is created based on the same executable code used to create the target execution context. An execution boundary separates the target execution context and the separate execution context such that execution in the separate execution context does not influence the behavior of the target execution context. State data from the target execution context is marshaled and transferred to the separate execution context. The separate execution context reconstitutes the state data and uses the state data to perform the diagnostic operation. Accordingly, performance of the diagnostic operation is simulated in the separate execution context without influencing the behavior of the target execution context.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Richard M.

Patent number: 8245198Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for mapping breakpoints between Web based documents. Embodiments of the invention facilitate extracting corresponding client script blocks from different Web based documents to disassociate the client script blocks with their relative locations within the Web based documents. From the extracted client side script blocks, a position for mapping a breakpoint from one client side script block another client side script block can be determined. The breakpoint is then copied from the one client script block and inserted into the determined position in the other client script block. The client script blocks can then be re-associated with their relative locations in the Web based documents from which they were extracted.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mikhail E. Arkhipov, Gregg B. Miskelly, Wai Hang Tang, Abhijit Rao

Patent number: 8196140Abstract: Threads operating in a computing environment often invoke service functions, such as methods of a programming library. Such invocations may sometimes cause a blocking of the thread, which may be protracted. A long pendency of the service function invocation and blocking of the thread may be acceptable in some operating contexts, such as the ordinary processing of the thread, but may be unacceptable in other operating contexts, such as while performing a function evaluation during debugging. Such blocking may be mitigated by redirecting a service function to an abort function if the service function is capable of blocking the thread and the thread is operating in a safe mode. The thread may then be permitted to execute, and the potentially blocking service functions may be avoided, resulting in a function evaluation abort (e.g., an exception) rather than a blocked thread and a failed debugging scenario.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2008Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gregg B.
