Abstract
Systems and methods for configuration management through information and code injection at compile time. An example method comprises: receiving a source code comprising one or more references to a variable; receiving metadata associated with the source code, wherein the metadata specifies a range of values of the variable; and identifying, in view of the range of values of the variable, a reachable section of the source code.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing device, a source code comprising one or more references to a variable;
- receiving metadata associated with the source code, wherein the metadata specifies a range of values of the variable;
- scanning the source code and the metadata, wherein scanning converts a sequence of characters in the source code into a sequence of tokens;
- parsing the source code and the metadata, wherein parsing converts the sequence of tokens in the source code into a parse tree;
- and
- identifying, using the parse tree, in view of the range of values of the variable, a reachable section of the source code.

A system comprising:
- a memory;
- a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
- receive a source code comprising one or more references to a variable;
- receive metadata associated with the source code, wherein the metadata specifies one or more values of the variable;
- scan the source code and the metadata, wherein scanning converts a sequence of characters in the source code into a sequence of tokens;
- parse the source code and the metadata, wherein parsing converts the sequence of tokens in the source code into a parse tree;
- and
- identify, using the parse tree, in view of the one or more values of the variable, a reachable section of the source code.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- receive a source code comprising one or more references to a variable;
- receive metadata associated with the source code, wherein the metadata specifies a range of values of the variable;
- scan the source code and the metadata, wherein scanning converts a sequence of characters in the source code into a sequence of tokens;
- parse the source code and the metadata, wherein parsing converts the sequence of tokens in the source code into a parse tree;
- and
- identify, using the parse tree, in view of the range of values of the variable, a reachable section of the source code.
