摘要:
A group join query facilitates navigation of relationships (e.g., one-to-many or many-to-one) across a plurality of data collections. Such a query operator produces nested or hierarchical results that capture the arguments passed thereto. If desired, the nested results can be flattened to simulate conventional relational database results.

A special syntax is developed to differentiate between accesses to a primary and one or more secondary object protocols in a programming language. The syntax allows the compiler to differentiate between the primary and secondary object model based on syntax, rather than type. The syntax is created in such a way as to approximate the syntax of the secondary object model, and allows the user to dynamically generate member names.

Providing for read/write access to captured free variables expressed as environment data objects is disclosed herein. By way of example, free variables can be rewritten as a field of a private class, and accessed via an instance of the private class captured within the environment data object. In such a manner, no need of a placeholder or proxy function is required to access the free variable. Consequently, the subject innovation provides a simplified method for capturing free variables within expression trees and providing read/write access to such variables.

The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods that facilitate retrieval of data. In particular, an application defined data shape can regulate loading of data for use in an object relational mapping system, enabling the object-oriented application to access data in a relational data base system. Data shapes define policies that control data retrieval, enabling efficient data loading. A data shape allows users to declaratively specify a set of policies to be applied to all queries associated with the data shape. In particular, data shapes can include policies that control eager loading. In addition, data shapes can also include filtering policies intended to reduce or limit data retrieved from a relational database.

The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods for supporting null capabilities for general purpose programming languages. Low level, runtime support for a nullable type is provided to ensure consistency and coherency. An execution component restricts support of the nullable type to programming language types that lack a null capability. The execution component may also provide support for conversion between the nullable type and a reference type.
摘要:
A static type computer language provides optional dynamic typing triggered by a unique static type. The unique static type can be utilized anywhere other types can be employed to identify programmatic elements that are late bound. As a result, static types can be analyzed at compile time while deferring analysis of dynamic types until runtime.
摘要:
Systems and methods facilitate type inference in a computer-programming environment. Type inference can be applied to generic method or function invocation in object-oriented languages to determine a type argument list left implicit by a programmer. One or more type arguments can be identified as a parameter type to which all other types in a set of associated parameter types can be converted.
摘要:
Partial methods enable separation of method declaration and/or calls from method implementation. A partial method specifies a signature of a join or hook point in a class. Calls to a partial method specify a join or hook point in code that can optionally be linked with an actual method implementation of the same signature. Separate method implementations or other code related to a partial method are injected into a single program prior to execution. Unimplemented partial methods are treated as no operation instructions or otherwise ignored.

Anonymous types for a programming language. Non-denotable anonymous types are types that a compiler generates on behalf of a programmer and can then be used as nominal types. Insofar as anonymous types do not have a name, they can be used only inside a method in which they are created. Additionally, an anonymous type cannot be exposed in any way outside of the method. Syntax to create an anonymous type is useful when employed with a Select operator to generate a result with a particular shape, without the need of having a regular type for it. Anonymous types are expressible such that an expression of that type can be written. Translation of an anonymous type by a compiler generates a nominal class that implements Equals and GetHashCode methods. There is equivalence of anonymous types within the same method, and conversion of an unrealized structural type into structurally compatible nominal type.
摘要:
A compiler supporting a language in which selected semantic objects are represented as data objects. The data objects may be used in multiple ways to expand the capabilities of the programming language. Data objects may be passed to applications and used to create executable instructions for that application. In this way, instructions written in the native language of the compiler may be used to control applications that accept programs in a language inconsistent with the native language of the compiler. The syntax checking and variable binding capabilities of the compiler may be used for those instructions that will be executed by an application separate from the object code generated by the compiler. The semantic objects represented as data objects may be selected based on express operations included in the source code or may be based on implicit type conversion.
