Automated extension of program data storage

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the processor and storing program instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
• receiving a set of marked data associated with a set of source code;
• identifying a scope of the source code associated with the marked data;
• generating a first set of instructions for taking a first snapshot of a variable storage space associated with the marked data when entering the scope and a second snapshot of the variable storage space when exiting the scope;
• generating a second set of instructions for comparing the first and second snapshots to determine a percentage of data usage of the variable storage space associated with the marked data;
• generating a third set of instruction for performing an action in response to the percentage of data usage of the variable storage space exceeding a data usage threshold;
• and
• compiling the source code into an executable, wherein the executable includes the first, second, and third sets of instructions.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a set of marked data associated with a set of source code;
• identifying a scope of the source code associated with the marked data;
• generating a first set of instructions for taking a first snapshot of a variable storage space associated with the marked data when entering the scope and a second snapshot of the variable storage space when exiting the scope;
• generating a second set of instructions for comparing the first and second snapshots to determine a percentage of data usage of the variable storage space associated with the marked data;
• generating a third set of instructions for performing an action in response to the percentage of data usage of the variable storage space exceeding a data usage threshold;
• and
• compiling the source code into an executable, wherein the executable includes the first, second, and third sets of instructions.
