US 12,754,723 B2 · Converting data from an optimized format to a target format

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for converting a dataset from an optimized format to a target format. The system determines a hierarchy of types that are included within the dataset. Based on the hierarchy of types, the system identifies occurrences of the same method in the dataset. The same name is assigned to occurrences of the same method. Optimized opcodes included in the bytecode instructions of methods are translated into target opcodes. For each method, the system simulates executing the target opcodes that replace the optimized opcodes in the method to determine if the target opcodes affect the configuration of local variables differently than the optimized opcodes. Based on simulating the execution of the target opcodes, the system alters local variable references in the method to reflect the differing configurations of local variables that result from replacing the optimized opcodes with the target opcodes.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

determining a hierarchy of a plurality of types that are comprised within a dataset that accords to a first format, wherein the first format is configured for a resource-constrained environment;
based on the hierarchy of the plurality of types, determining that two or more methods respectively comprised within two or more types are occurrences of a same method, wherein the two or more types are comprised within the plurality of types;
and
converting the dataset from the first format to a second format, wherein converting the dataset comprises:
based on determining that the two or more methods are occurrences of the same method, assigning a common name to the two or more methods,
wherein the method is performed by at least one device including a hardware processor.

3 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:

determining a hierarchy of a plurality of types that are comprised within a dataset that accords to a first format, wherein the first format is configured for a resource-constrained environment;
based on the hierarchy of the plurality of types, determining that two or more methods respectively comprised within two or more types are occurrences of a same method, wherein the two or more types are comprised within the plurality of types;
and
converting the dataset from the first format to a second format, wherein converting the dataset comprises:
based on determining that the two or more methods are occurrences of the same method, assigning a common name to the two or more methods.

2 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer readable-media comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:

replacing a first set of one or more opcodes comprised within a method with a second set of one or more opcodes,
wherein the first set of one or more opcodes is associated with a first format, and the second set of one or more opcodes is associated with a second format;
simulating an execution of the second set of one or more opcodes to determine one or more predicted configurations of local variables that result from executing the second set of one or more opcodes;
and
based on the one or more predicted configurations of local variables, altering one or more local variable references comprised within the method.
