Appl. No.:

10/808905

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717125, 717124

Abstract:

A system and method facilitating attributed debugging is provided that facilitates a developer of an object to determine what information a debugger displays. An expression evaluator is provided. The system can further include, optionally, a debuggee (e. g. , process to be debugged). The debuggee includes attribute(s) which are employed by the debugger to facilitate debugging of the application—“attributed debugging. ” This allows a developer of a type to declaratively indicate how information is to be displayed during debugging. Attributed debugging thus allows the manipulation of the view of data in the debugger by allowing the type author annotations with which they can control.

International Classification:

US Classification:

711170, 707E12009, 707E12012, 707813, 707999206

Abstract:

The techniques and mechanisms described herein are directed to a method for performing garbage collection based on the total memory consumed by managed objects on a heap. The total memory includes heap memory and unmanaged memory. The garbage collector accepts input that indicates the amount of unmanaged memory and associates this amount with the managed object. The garbage collector then adjusts a collection strategy for the managed object based on the input. The input is sent to the garbage collector if the allocated amount meets a certain criteria in comparison with the size of the managed object on the heap. The amount may be automatically disassociated with the managed object when the managed is destroyed or the garbage collector may receive another input that removes the amount from being associated with the managed object.

International Classification:

G06F 3/16
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for indicating a reference song. A computing device stores reference song characterization data that identifies a plurality of audio characteristics for each reference song in a plurality of reference songs. The computing device receives digital audio data that represents audio recorded by a microphone, converts the digital audio data from time-domain format into frequency-domain format, and uses the digital audio data in the frequency-domain format in a music-characterization process. In response to determining that characterization values for the digital audio data are most relevant to characterization values for a particular reference song, the computing device outputs an indication of the particular reference song.

Abstract:

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A computing device stores reference song characterization data and receives digital audio data. The computing device determines whether the digital audio data represents music and then performs a different process to recognize that the digital audio data represents a particular reference song. The computing device then outputs an indication of the particular reference song.
