| 20120066288 | SCALABLY IMAGING CLIENTS OVER A NETWORK - Techniques exist for imaging clients over a network, such as the preboot execution environment (PXE) protocol. However, such techniques may not scale well (e.g., using broadcast messages and having few facilities for distributing the imaging service over several servers) and limited capacity to choose a particular image for a particular client. Instead, a set of servers may be configured such that each server is assigned a set of clients, and when a client sends an imaging query, only the server to which the client is assigned sends a reply. For example, a PXE server also comprising a DHCP server may reply to queries only for clients having a DHCP reservation on the server. The servers may also be configured to refer to a network map (e.g., a manageability data store) in order to identify the role of the client and the appropriate image to direct the client to apply. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20100180264 | HANDLING MULTIPLE DEFINITION OF TYPES - User assemblies can be created by a compiler that can handle more than one type definition during execution. Local copies are created for respective authoritative types in a code library, and the local copies are marked with a local type identifier. An authoritative type identifier (e.g., a globally unique identifier (GUID)) is copied from the authoritative type to the local type, and functions and properties associated with the local type are also copied from the authoritative type. Authoritative types are resolved for requested types when a local assembly references a local type from a compiled user assembly. The local type can be identified by a local type identifier, and an authoritative type can be retrieved from the code library that has a same authoritative type identifier as the requested type. A local copy of the retrieved authoritative type can be copied to the local assembly under compilation. The compiler can then emit user assemblies that comprise merely local types. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100299660 | DYNAMIC BINDING DIRECTED BY STATIC TYPES - A static type, called “dynamic”, is introduced into a statically bound programming language. An expression or subexpression that is defined as a static type called “dynamic” in the source code of a program written in the statically bound programming language, is bound based on its runtime type instead of on its compile time type. Binding can be performed based on a mixture of compile time and runtime types that are based on the specification of types of expressions in source code. This type of binding is called hybrid binding. Operations are bound using the runtime type of constituent expressions (i.e., the runtime type of a receiver, an argument, or an operand) typed as dynamic and the compile time type of static constituents. If any constituent expression of an operation is dynamic, binding occurs at runtime instead of at compile time. | 11-25-2010 |

An exemplary system includes a memory that stores code associated with a computer program and a component coupled to the memory. The component is configured to access the code, to identify a variable in the code and a modifier associated with the variable and, responsive to identifying the variable, to use the variable to determine the identity of an object associated with the variable and to determine whether the object is equal to another object based on value semantics. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20120110548 | DATA TYPE PROVIDER FOR AN OPERATING SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION STORE - A system and method for facilitating development of a computer program that interfaces with an operating system instrumentation store (OSIS). A system queries an OSIS to retrieve interface information, including schema information corresponding to a portion of data in the OSIS relevant to a user application. The system uses the retrieved information to provide an integrated development environment to a user. The IDE may include one or more features such as completion lists, tool tips, and quick info. The schema information may be used to create synthetic types for use in the target program. The interface information may be used to create synthetic elements to be inserted into a target program. The synthetic types may be used to perform static type checking during an editing session or a program compilation, or to provide the IDE services. During a build, the synthetic elements may be removed and replaced with OSIS access code, which is subsequently used during program runtime to access the store. The system enables a user to work with the OSIS as they would for built-in parts of their program. | 05-03-2012 |

The system uses the retrieved information to provide an integrated development environment to a user. The IDE may include one or more features such as completion lists, tool tips, and quick info. The schema information may be used to create synthetic types for use in the target program. The interface information may be used to create synthetic elements to be inserted into a target program. The synthetic types may be used to perform static type checking during an editing session or a program compilation, or to provide the IDE services. During a build, the synthetic elements may be removed and replaced with WSS access code, which is subsequently used during program runtime to access the store. The system enables a user to work with the WSS as they would for built-in parts of their program. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20080320453 | TYPE INFERENCE AND LATE BINDING - A type inference option is available for a computer programming language. The option acts as a switch to specify whether or not type inference is applicable (e.g., on or off). Type inference can be employed in conjunction with late binding or options therefor. In this manner, a computer program can be developed with the convenience of type inference and the flexibility of late binding while still maintaining at a degree of type safety. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090328012 | COMPILER IN A MANAGED APPLICATION CONTEXT - A batch compiler is employed to enable compilation of code provided at runtime. A managed application receives code during execution and invokes the compiler to transform the code to enable it to execute within the context of the receiving application. Among other things, employment of a batch compiler preserves investments made to such compilers while also opening up new scenarios in application scripting and/or hosting that are otherwise unavailable. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090328013 | COMPONENTIZATION OF COMPILER FUNCTIONALITY - Compiler functionality is componentized to enable use across different contexts. Conventionally tightly coupled functionality is decoupled and an interface afforded to facilitate interaction with compiler components/subcomponents in various scenarios. In one instance, compiler components can be employed across compile time and runtime. Compile time functionality can be employed at runtime and runtime functionality utilized at compile time thereby blurring the line between time dimensions. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090328016 | GENERALIZED EXPRESSION TREES - Expression tree versatility and applicability are enhanced to facilitate programming across various program languages and execution contexts.

Further, language specific concepts can be reduced to the common representation to enable language independent employment. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100218173 | IMPLICIT LINE CONTINUATION - 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. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110258593 | STATIC TYPE CHECKING AGAINST EXTERNAL DATA SOURCES - Static type checking is performed against external data sources in an interacting editing environment. A rich editing experience can be provided to users for external data equivalent to that provided for internal static, typed data. An extensible compiler is provided so that a user or third party can extend type checking facilities to any external data source. An extensible language service is provided so that a user or third party can extend the language service to provide a consistent, current static view of external data. The extensible compiler and language service allow language extensions to plug into the type checking process. This enables the compiler and language service to provide an extension point that allows extensions of the compiler and allow the language service to render dynamic information statically. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110258594 | ASYNCHRONOUS WORKFLOWS - A system and method for implementing an asynchronous construct in a computer program. A state machine is generated from the computer program, and the program is translated to generate code that executes the state machine during runtime. The asynchronous construct may be made into a function that invokes an asynchronous function, passing the function as a callback, and then exits. When the asynchronous operation completes, the function is invoked as a callback, returning to a configuration equivalent to that prior to the asynchronous call. Variable closure may be used to maintain the state of variables during a state prior to invoking the asynchronous operation and a state after invoking the asynchronous operation. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110276950 | NAME BINDING EXTENSIBILITY FOR TYPED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE - Architecture that provides a way to plug into a compiler (e.g., F#) and the associated language service. The language components define a standard plug-in mechanism that allows any component to plug into the services and, provide name binding and type resolution services. The compiler and language service utilize the protocol defined (e.g., in the shape of interfaces and classes that must be implemented in order to plug-in to the system) to provide compile time and design time extensions. The architecture provides the ability to define a customized protocol to interact with the compiler's name binding mechanism. The use of this protocol allows not only compilation to succeed, but to also provide rich IDE services, such as name lookup, and value lookup for quick information. Additionally, the capability to provide static type information to satisfy the requirements of a typed programming language is supported. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110276983 | AUTOMATIC RETURN TO SYNCHRONIZATION CONTEXT FOR ASYNCHRONOUS COMPUTATIONS - Architecture that includes an asynchronous library which remembers the synchronization context that initiated an asynchronous method call and when the request is completed, the library restores the synchronization context of the calling thread before executing a callback. This ensures that the callback executes on the same thread as the original asynchronous request. The callback to the asynchronous operation that asynchronous library provides automatically “jumps threads” to maintain thread affinity. | 11-10-2011 |
