The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for controlling runtime access to application programming interfaces Embodiments of the invention allow library developers to more precisely and easily control which of their libraries' APIs can be called dynamically. Thus, their servicing and versioning burden can be more appropriately controlled. Further, application developers can control which such APIs to further exclude from dynamic calling scenarios, to minimize the runtime support overhead (e.g., preventing generation of metadata).

Returning a runtime type loaded from an archive in a module system is disclosed. Operations include (a) identifying, by a class loader implemented in a runtime environment, an archived runtime type loaded into an archive from a module source; (b) identifying a particular package associated with the archived runtime type; (c) determining that the particular package is defined to a runtime module that is defined to (i) the class loader or (ii) any class loader in the class loader hierarchy to which the class loader delegates; and (d) returning directly or indirectly, by the class loader, a runtime type loaded based on the archived runtime type from the archive.

A high-temperature cable and method of making the same is provided. The high-temperature cable includes at least one elongated conductor portion. A fiber-reinforced resin is positioned radially about at least a portion of an exterior surface of the at least one elongated conductor portion. The high-temperature may optionally include a thin metal layer and/or an armor shell.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for identifying traits of an object. In one example, a set of traits is identified in an object-oriented system. A set of trait rules is identified. A trait data structure is generated. A set of classes in the object-oriented system is identified. For each class in the set of classes, a metadata structure is constructed. For each trait in the trait data structure, a trait rule in the trait computation rules structure is identified. The trait rule is applied to the particular metadata structure to generate a trait rule result. Whether the particular class has the particular trait is determined based on the trait rule result. In response to a determination that the particular class has the particular trait, the trait data structure is updated. The updated trait data structure indicates that the particular class has the particular trait.

Accessing migrated members in an updated type is described. Instructions to access a migrated member may be: (a) storing a value of a particular type as a value of a migrated field, or (b) invoking a migrated method using an argument of a particular type. The argument of the particular type, specified in the instructions, is converted into a value of the type associated with the current version of the migrated member. The migrated member is accessed using the converted value. Alternatively, instructions may be: (a) fetching and returning a value of a migrated field as a value of a particular type, or (b) returning a value from a migrated method as a value of a particular type. A value is returned via accessing the current version of the migrated member. The returned value is converted into a value of the particular type specified in the instructions.

Techniques for accessing a migrated method include: identifying a request to invoke a method defined by a particular type; identifying, in the particular type: an older version of the method that is (a) associated with a method name and (b) configured to return values of a first return type, and a current version of the method that is (a) associated with the method name and (b) configured to return values of a second return type; determining that the first request specifies the first return type; responsive to determining that the first request specifies the first return type: executing the current version of the method to obtain a value of the second return type; applying one or more conversion functions to convert the value of the second return type to a value of the first return type; returning the value of the first return type responsive to the first request.

The present disclosure relates to a processor that includes one or more processing elements associated with one or more instruction set architectures. The processor is configured to receive a request from an application executed by a first processing element of the one or more processing elements to enable a feature associated with an instruction set architecture. Additionally, the processor is configured to enable the application to utilize the feature without a system call occurring when the feature is associated with an instruction set architecture associated with the first processing element.

Provided herein are methods, systems, and computer-program products for providing a library of base classes to be used by applications to facilitate real-time analytics. In some examples, the library may be a C++ Library that provides a set of primitive operators (e.g., spout base class, tube base class, and sink base class) for user derivation. In some examples, the spout base class may relate to receiving data from a data source, the tube base class may relate to performing one or more operations on the received data, and the sink base class may relate to sending the processed data to a data target. The spout, tube, sink together provide a real-time streaming framework interface that may be extended by the user.

Technologies for secure native code invocation include a computing device having an operating system and a firmware environment. The operating system executes a firmware method in an operating system context using a virtual machine. In response to invoking the firmware method, the operating system invokes a callback to a bridge driver in the operating system context. In response to the callback, the bridge driver invokes a firmware runtime service in the operating system context. The firmware environment executes a native code handler in the operating system context in response to invoking the firmware runtime service. The native code handler may be executed in a de-privileged container. The firmware method may process results data stored in a firmware mailbox by the native code handler, which may include accessing a hardware resource using a firmware operation region.

Systems of the present disclosure provide a versatile, reusable mock server to respond to Application-Programming-Interface (API) requests. The mock server receives an API request and a cookie associated with the API request. The API server identifies response instructions found in the cookie. The response instructions may include a static response value, a name of an API server for the mock server to imitate, or code for the mock server to execute in the process of generating a mock API response. The mock server generates a mock API response based on the response instructions and sends the mock API response in reply to the API request.
