Subject program code is translated to target code in basic block units at run-time in a process wherein translation of basic blocks is interleaved with execution of those translations. A shared code cache mechanism is added to persistently store subject code translations, such that a translator may reuse translations that were generated and / or optimized by earlier translator instances.

A computer-implemented method for generating program code based on one or more blocks of a block diagram, at least one block including a block variable. The method comprises opening the block diagram in a model editor, retrieving generation settings for the block variable from a data definition tool, the generation settings comprising a scope of the variable, determining that a modification rule is referenced in the generation settings, and retrieving the referenced modification rule from the data definition tool, wherein a modification rule comprises a filter condition and one or more code changes. A processor generates program code based on the block diagram and the generation settings and applies the referenced modification rule to the block variable in the generated code, which includes verifying that the filter condition is fulfilled for the block variable and applying the code changes to each occurrence of the variable in the code.

A testing tool allowing convenient testing of programs and also classes in general. The tool automatically divides each program into many groups such that if one line (or statement) is executed it may reasonably be assumed that all the lines in the group are also executed. A tester is provided the ability to provide desired arguments (including class instances) and cause all groups to be executed such that all lines of code in the programs of a class are executed at least once. The groups are conveniently further logically combined into hierarchical blocks, with each block at a higher level corresponding to a logical structure such as if structure, for structure, while structure, etc. The blocks at the lowest level may contain a single group. Due to such hierarchy, a tester may visually easily identify the unexecuted blocks / groups. The tester may further define and execute small pieces of code (macros) in the middle of testing.

The invention relates to a method for generating source code from one or more blocks of a block diagram comprising a model of a dynamic system having at least one directional connection between two blocks, wherein the block diagram can be designed to simulate the dynamic system, and wherein at least one region in which one or more blocks are located is defined in the block diagram. The block diagram comprises a first block and a second block, wherein the first block has a first block variable and the second block has a second block variable, each block variable of the block diagram having a descriptor. The descriptor of the first block variable is compared with the descriptor of the second block variable, and a check is performed to determine whether the first block and the second block are located in the same region. The first block variable and the second block variable are implemented in the source code as a single variable if the descriptors are concordant and the blocks are located in one region. If the descriptors are different and / or the blocks are not located in the same region, the first block variable and the second block variable are implemented in the source code as twoseparate variables. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for configuring a controller, to a computer program product and to a computer system.

Disclosed here are methods, systems, paradigms and structures for incrementally compiling scripts at runtime to generate executable code. In a first phase, an executable block for a basic block of the script is generated for a set of types of variables of the basic block. In a second phase, a set of executable blocks whose profiling information, such as frequency of (a) execution, (b) transition between executable blocks, or (c) execution of a path, satisfies an optimization criterion is identified, and an executable control region is generated. In a third phase, profiling information from a number of systems in a distributed environment is aggregated, and an executable control region corresponding to the aggregated profile is generated. The executable code generated in each of the phases is more optimal than the code generated in a previous phase, and is used for execution until replaced by the code of a subsequent phase.

A method, for use with a computer having memory, for structuring a program segment, is described. A series of program blocks in the segment are identified. Each block is a functional piece of code in the segment and has at least one point corresponding to at least one of entry and exit, in such a manner that the entire segment is divided into blocks with each block being situated in an execution path along which the segment executes in a downstream direction. With respect to each block, a block representative is associated. The block representative allocates computer memory for data elements that are needed for the associated block to execute. The block representative also assigns a value to any data element required by the associated block to have a value. Additionally, the block representative calls the associated block for execution, receives return of control after execution of the block, and passes control based on available data.

An extracting unit randomly extracts a block from among the blocks of instruction strings constituting the byte code of a first program and, at the time of execution of the first program, extracts the blocks which are invariably executed before the randomly-extracted block. A dividing unit randomly divides, into a plurality of blocks, the instruction strings constituting the byte code of a second program which enables detection of tampering of the first program. An inserting unit inserts the plurality of blocks, which are obtained by division by the dividing unit, at different positions in the block extracted by the extracting unit, while maintaining the execution sequence written in the second program.
