Abstract
Source languages are translated to target dynamic programming languages. Runtime functionality including reflection and/or dynamic code modification exposed by a source language is mapped to a dynamic language implementation such as that of a script language. Target language dynamism is leveraged to efficiently support runtime functionality in a source language that is more static, for example.
Claims20
A runtime code system, comprising:
- an interface component that acquires static code that specifies runtime functionality;
- and
- a translation component that translates the static code to dynamic code for execution in a dynamic runtime environment.
A method of computer program execution, comprising:
- dynamically translating statically typed language code to dynamically typed language code;
- and
- interpreting the dynamically typed code.
A system for supporting runtime code modification, comprising:
- means for identifying statically typed language code to be injected into a script during execution thereof;
- and
- means for translating the statically typed language code to script language code at runtime.
