摘要： A development system is described which provides a form-based development environment for partitioning an application such that it can be seamlessly integrated into corporate Webs (i.e., "intranets"). A form is implemented as an "application page" and published as an ActiveX object. Specifically, a new "application" page MIME type is defined: application/x-appdoc. This contains information necessary to create a document (e.g., Microsoft ActiveX Document) locally but, in addition, also includes information necessary to find and download the program code for rendering the view of the document. If the program code is already present locally, it need only be downloaded for purpose of updating the local copy. Once a form is built into an ActiveX object and digitally signed, it can be downloaded to a client and run in a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

摘要： A development system having a compiler, a linker, and an interface for detecting invalid use of resource is generated. When the system is (optionally) operating in a "code guarded" mode, the linker links the object modules with a CodeGuard.RTM. Library to generate "code guarded" program(s). The API (Application Programming Interface) calls to the runtime libraries are "wrappered" by CodeGuard wrapper functions. Additionally in this mode, operation of the compiler is altered to insert calls from the user code (e.g., compiled code in object modules) to the CodeGuard Runtime Library, for checking runtime use of resources and memory. As a result, the system can identify a programming error at the location where it occurs that is, at the original line of code which gave rise to the problem in the first place. Errors are found immediately as they happen, so that the original offending site can be determined. In this manner, the task of creating computer programs is simplified.

摘要： A development system having a client which employs a virtual machine for executing programs written in the Java programming language is described. The client executes a "compiled" (i.e., bytecode or pseudo-compiled) Java program, which has been created by compiling a Java source code program or script with a Java compiler. The pseudo-compiled program comprises the bytecode emitted by the compiler. The development system further includes a just-in-time compiler which natively compiles each pseudo-compiled method of a Java program on a "just-in-time" basis--that is, compiles each method as it is actually used into native machine code for a target microprocessor. Methods which are unused are left uncompiled (i.e., left as bytecode). During program execution, when a method call is made from interpreted code, the system employs an "invoker" slot of the callee. When a method call is made from compiled code, the system employs a "compiled code" slot of the callee. As the addresses for the slots themselves remain unchanged, a method which has been compiled need not be recompiled when a callee method it invokes is itself compiled. In this manner, a method (caller) calling another method (callee) need not know whether it is calling is an interpreted method or a compiled method.

摘要翻译： 描述具有使用虚拟机执行以Java编程语言编写的程序的客户机的开发系统。 客户端执行通过使用Java编译器编译Java源代码程序或脚本而创建的“编译”（即字节码或伪编译）Java程序。 伪编译程序包括编译器发出的字节码。 开发系统还包括一个即时编译器，它以“准时”的方式在本地编译Java程序的每个伪编译方法，即将实际使用的每个方法编译为本地机器代码 用于目标微处理器。 未使用的方法未编译（即，作为字节码留下）。 在程序执行期间，当从解释代码进行方法调用时，系统使用被调用者的“调用者”插槽。 当从编译代码进行方法调用时，系统采用被调用方的“编译代码”槽。 由于插槽本身的地址保持不变，当调用的被调用方法本身被编译时，已经编译的方法不需要重新编译。 以这种方式，调用另一个方法（被调用者）的方法（调用方）不需要知道它是调用是一种解释方法还是编译方法。

摘要： A system of the present invention includes a relational database management system (RDBMS), having an object-based, interactive visual-programming language providing programming by "visual inheritance." A user places screen objects (e.g., boxes, screen buttons, table objects, and the like) on an on-screen window or "form," visually attaches selected "properties" and "methods" to the screen objects, and then establishes an containership-based event model that dictates how and when these properties and methods will be invoked. An object inherits (derives) properties and methods from other (parent) objects via its visual containership. In this manner, the task of creating and maintaining application programs is greatly simplified. An alternative embodiment providing an "Object Explorer" is also described. The Explorer collapses object inspector and object tree functionality into a single UI (user interface) element. This allows the user to avoid switching back and forth between an inspector/property sheet user interface element on the one hand and an object tree user interface element on the other. Additionally, the imporved interface consumes less screen surface area.

摘要： Graphical user interface system and methods for providing "hints" for screen objects of interest, particularly user interface elements which rely upon multitudes of iconic (bitmap image) indicia. The interface includes a static (status) frame or window positioned in a non-intrusive fashion below or to one side of a client area (active portion) of a user interface. The frame is continually updated with appropriate descriptors or "hints" (e.g., text and/or graphics) as a screen cursor moves from one screen object to another.

摘要： A system of the present invention includes a relational database management system (RDBMS). Methods are described for maintaining integrity between "design documents," which may be creating under different operating systems, and one or more information tables of the system. The system provides each field of a table with a unique ID ("field ID") for tracking the field regardless of restructuring changes which may be made to the table by various clients. Corresponding field IDs are stored with the fields of design documents, thereby permitting the system to maintain a link between a design document and its table. Upon a restructure of a table, the dependent design documents may be appropriately updated by their respective clients. Methods are also described for improved storage of free-form or "memo" data. In a preferred embodiment, memo data are stored in a separate file comprised of variable-length storage blocks. Methods are described for allocating storage space in the blocks and sub-allocating storage space within a block. For increased efficiency, the system maintains a sorted "free list" of free storage blocks.

摘要： An object-oriented development system of the present invention includes a development system, which may include, among other features, a compiler, a linker, standard libraries, class libraries, and a debugger. Methods of the present invention include constructing C++ classes having response functions--C++ class methods which process specific system messages of interest. More particularly, a C++ class includes a registry object--an object which associates the message of interest with a particular response function. The registry object includes C++ template definition, whereby the object includes a "generic" function, that is, one which is not tied to any specific parameter type. In this manner, the message-response functions of the development system do not require compiler-specific extensions or unsafe casting operations.
