Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods that address the limitations of current code completion techniques, generate multiple levels of syntactically complete code completions, each level of syntactically complete code completion based upon and dependent upon an acceptance of a prior level syntactically complete code completion. A first level syntactically complete code completion may be presented as a suggestion for inclusion in a code and each additional level of syntactically complete code completions in the sequence maintained in a cache so that the next level syntactically complete code completion can be presented immediately upon acceptance of the currently presented syntactically complete code completion. By pre-generating multiple levels of syntactically complete code completions so that each next level syntactically complete code completion can be presented immediately upon acceptance of a presented syntactically complete code completion reduces or eliminates any perceived latency in code completion generation and/or code completion presentation.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving a request for a first level syntactically complete code completion to include in a code;
in response to the request:
generating, based at least in part on the code, a code completion;
determining that the code completion is syntactically complete when added to the code;
in response to determining that the code completion is syntactically complete, generating, from the code completion, the first level syntactically complete code completion to suggest for inclusion in the code;
and
presenting the first level syntactically complete code completion as a first suggestion for acceptance in response to the request;
subsequent to generating the first level syntactically complete code completion and prior to an acceptance of the first level syntactically complete code completion:
generating, based at least in part on the code and the first level syntactically complete code completion, a second level syntactically complete code completion that:
is executable without syntax errors;
and
is structured for inclusion in the code following the acceptance of the first level syntactically complete code completion;
and
storing the second level syntactically complete code completion;
receiving the acceptance of the first level syntactically complete code completion;
and
in response to the acceptance, in real-time or near real-time, presenting the second level syntactically complete code completion as a second suggestion for inclusion in the code.

14 more elements

A system, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a memory storing program instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least:
generate, based on at least a portion of a code, a code completion;
determine that the code completion is syntactically complete;
generate, from the code completion, a first level syntactically complete code completion for inclusion at a first position within the code;
generate, based on at least the code and the first level syntactically complete code completion, a second level syntactically complete code completion for inclusion at a second position within the code;
cause a presentation, at the first position within a development environment, of the first level syntactically complete code completion;
and
maintain the second level syntactically complete code completion in a cache without outputting the second level syntactically complete code completion to the development environment, wherein the second level syntactically complete code completion is structured for inclusion in the development environment following an acceptance of the first level syntactically complete code completion.

7 more elements

A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating a first level syntactically complete code completion by sequentially adding a first plurality of tokens produced based at least in part on a code until it is determined that the first plurality of tokens added to the first level syntactically complete code completion produces a syntactically complete code completion with respect to a portion of the code;
generating a second level syntactically complete code completion by sequentially adding a second plurality of tokens produced based at least in part on the portion of the code and the first level syntactically complete code completion;
presenting the first level syntactically complete code completion for inclusion in the code;
maintaining the second level syntactically complete code completion in a cache;
receiving an acceptance of the first level syntactically complete code completion for inclusion in the code;
and
in response to receiving the acceptance:
adding the first level syntactically complete code completion to the code;
and
presenting the second level syntactically complete code completion for inclusion in the code.
