Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, program products, and systems for modifying source code by managing symbols indicating executable instructions. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to receive one or more symbols indicating executable instructions to be implemented via source code and generate a visual display comprising a dialog box supporting modification of source code that implements the executable instructions indicated by the one or more symbols. Responsive to receiving a user interaction with the dialog box resulting in modified source code, embodiments of the present invention can be used to generate modified source code or a representation of the modified source code that is shorter than the modified source code.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more computer processors, one or more symbols indicating tasks to be implemented via source code; generating, by one or more computer processors, a visual display comprising a dialog box supporting modification of source code that implements the executable instructions indicated by the one or more symbols; responsive to receiving a user interaction with the dialog box resulting in modified source code, generating, by one or more computer processors, a visual display comprising a dialog box output, wherein the dialog box output is one of the modified source code or a representation of the modified source code that is shorter than the modified source code; providing, by one or more computer processors, an opportunity to toggle the generated visual display between displaying the modified source code and the representation of the modified source code that is shorter than the modified source code, wherein the representation of the modified source code that is shorter than the modified source code includes the one or more symbols; responsive to receiving a modification of the one or more symbols included in the displayed representation of the modified source code that is shorter than the modified source code, updating, by one or more computer processors, all instances of source code corresponding to the one or more symbols; responsive to receiving the modification of the one or more symbols included in the displayed representation of the modified source code that is shorter than the modified source code, storing, by one or more computer processors, a first delta value associated with a first modification of the one or more symbols and a second delta value associated with a second modification of the one or more symbols, wherein the first delta value and the second delta value each correspond to a different view of the respective first and second modifications; responsive to receiving a query for the first delta value, displaying, by one or more computer processors, the view associated with the first delta value; providing, by one or more computer processors, an option to generate multi-pathed object code with the utilization of the first and second delta values; and providing, by one or more computer processors, an option to debug the modified source code, wherein the option to debug the source code pauses execution of the source code according to the instruction headings.
