  • Implicit line continuation
    Patent number: 8239842
    Abstract: Modified compilers and other development tools provide implied line continuation within a sequence of syntax tokens of a programming language grammar which includes multiple semantic contexts and which uses line termination as presumptive statement termination. When source code parsing encounters a line terminator adjacent a context-dependent implicit line continuation token in an associated semantic context, an explicit decision is made whether to imply line continuation. Line continuation may also be implied in response to other specified tokens.
    Type: Grant

  • Extensible productivity tool for exposing common classes in application building
    Patent number: 7383531
    Abstract: Architecture for developing an application. The architecture provides an entry point to commonly used classes of an application development framework. A developer begins a project which predefines a set of collection classes. An exposer component includes an identifier component and a compiler for generating accessors to the collected classes. The identifier uses an attribute on a collection class which a compiler dynamically extracts in order to generate accessors to the desired collected classes and compiles the generated collection classes for use in the namespace.
