Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, program products, and systems for locating an unknown location by searching known geographical indicators. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to receive a search query for an unknown location. The search query can comprise one or more symbols denoting geographical indicators representative of the unknown location. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to locate unknown locations by searching for a location that matches the one or more symbols representative of the unknown location and returning results that match the received search query.

Positional route guidance

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for providing information for avoiding specific users of an immersive virtual environment. Generally, a primary user may specify other users to be avoided in a blacklist. The blacklisted users may be specified to be avoided at all times, or may be specified to be avoided in certain situations. In one embodiment, a user may be added to the blacklist during a specific situation, resulting in the characteristics of the situation being automatically stored in the blacklist. Subsequently, the blacklist may be used to determine the locations of the blacklisted users matching the current situation. The primary user may then avoid the locations having the greatest probability of encountering blacklisted users.

Generating data for managing encounters in a virtual world environment

In an approach for dynamically instrumenting a program at runtime, a processor identifies a sequence of memory related operations from an instruction stream, wherein the sequence includes at least a first memory related operation and a second memory related operation. A processor instruments the first memory related operation. A processor detects an error at the first memory related operation based on the instrumentation of the first memory related operation. A processor, responsive to detecting the error at the first memory related operation, instruments at least the second memory related operation.

Dynamic instrumentation based on detected errors

In an embodiment, a current internal corrosion level at a current time is read from an internal corrosion sensor that is internal to a computer. An internal corrosion difference is calculated between the current internal corrosion level and a previous internal corrosion level. Upon determining that the internal corrosion difference is more than a first threshold amount, a first action is performed that decreases an internal temperature of the computer. In a further embodiment, upon determining that the internal corrosion difference is less than a second threshold amount, a second action is performed that allows the internal temperature of the computer to increase.

Decreasing the internal temperature of a computer in response to corrosion

A pre-initialized value of contents of a memory location is identified. A load value of contents loaded from the memory location by execution of a first instruction that loads from the memory location is also identified. A comparison is made between the load value and the pre-initialized value. Based on the comparison, a determination is made that the load value and the pre-initialized value are the same. In response to this determination, it is indicated that the first instruction contains an uninitialized memory reference.

Detecting uninitialized memory references

Method and apparatus for enhancing an executable is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the method includes instrumenting an executable with additional program code to detect run-time errors, and while running the instrumented executable within a debug environment generating the run-time errors detected by the additional program code, upon reaching a breakpoint, identifying any of the run-time errors which occurred while executing a function in which the breakpoint is located, and transmitting an indication of the identified run-time errors to the debugging environment.

Enhancing the debugger stack with recently reported errors under debug

The present disclosure relates to maintaining assertions in an integrated development environment (IDE) tool. According to one embodiment, the IDE receives a request to add an assertion at a specified location within source code of an application from a user interacting with an integrated development environment (IDE) tool. The source code is stored in a first file associated with a development project. The IDE tool receives a definition for the assertion and stores the definition for the assertion in a second file associated with the development project. The IDE tool creates an association in the development project between the source code of the application and the assertion.

Managed assertions in an integrated development environment

The present disclosure relates to maintaining assertions in source code components of a development project by an integrated development environment (IDE) tool. According to one embodiment, a request is received to build a software application generated from the development project. Based on prior executions of the software application, resource requirements for each of one or more assertions included in the prior executions of the software application are identified. One or more of the assertions based on the identified resource requirements are selectively inserted in the source code components. The source code components of the development project are compiled to build the software application.

Optimizing program performance with assertion management

A computer-implemented method of reducing impact of performance data gathering on execution of instrumented code comprises gathering respective performance data for each of a plurality of routines in the instrumented code over a plurality of execution instances of the instrumented code. The method also comprises determining that the gathered performance data for the at least one selected routine follows an identified pattern for at least one selected routine from the plurality of routines and, in response to determining that the at least one selected routine follows an identified pattern, removing instrumentation associated with the at least one selected routine.
