Abstract

Computer-implemented techniques for preventing garbage object accumulation on minimal runtimes. The techniques include checking whether source code written in a source programming language that does not require the programmer to explicitly program when deallocation happens can run within a runtime that provides little or no support for implicit deallocation. At the same time, the techniques ensure that objects in minimal runtimes are deallocated in a timely manner. In one aspect, the techniques encompass generating a compile-time alert (e.g., an error or warning message) to a programmer of source code or halting compilation of the source code upon detecting a data type definition in the source code with the potential for reference cycles. With the techniques, the programmer is provided with an implicit deallocation experience while producing program fragments that interoperate with minimal runtimes that provide no or only minimal support for implicit deallocation (e.g., provide only reference counting).

Abstract

Computer-implemented techniques for deriving many idiomatic programming language interfaces. The techniques allow a programmer to provide idiomatic interfaces in many different programming languages without extra per-language effort. The techniques provide a solution to technical problems involved in providing idiomatic interfaces in many different programming languages. In particular, the techniques solve the problem of providing idiomatic interfaces that use the different definitional elements required by different programming languages, and in a way that programmers experienced in the language expect.

Abstract

Computer-implemented techniques solve a number of problems with producing idiomatic software documentation for many programming languages from a common specification written in a common specification programming language. The techniques may be employed by a documentation generator computer program that translates the common specification into software programming interface documentation for each of many different programming language targets. The techniques may also be employed by a source-to-source compiler that incorporates the techniques to generate documentation from the common specification for each of many different programming language targets in addition to compiling the common specification into the different target languages.
