Abstract: A computing system for converting software code into an executable program include an expanding preprocessor that receives software code including debug statements and expands the debug statements into conditions that include a static variable and that must be met before a trace contained in the statement is executed, the expanding preprocessor creating an expanded code output. The system also includes a replacement preprocessor coupled to the expanding preprocessor and receiving the expanded code, the replacement preprocessor forming replaced code by replacing one or more occurrences of the static variables with a unique variable name and a compiler that compiles the replacement code to create an executable.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product of setting up a virtual connection at run time. The method includes the steps of: analyzing a topology of an application to determine at least one port pair where the port pair comprises an output port of a first operator and an input port of a second operator; configuring a first auxiliary operator to receive data from a first operator; configuring a second auxiliary operator to send data to a second operator; deploying the first operator, the second operator, the first auxiliary operator and the second auxiliary operator; receiving a function address of the second auxiliary operator; and sending the function address of the second auxiliary operator to a first destination; where at least one of the steps is carried out using a computer device so that the virtual connection is setup at run time.
