Assisting automation of repeated edits of code by automated generation of rules that, when applied, perform code transformations. The transformations are synthesized while observing developers make repeated code edits, and automatically perform similar modifications as those observed. This synthesized transformation defines an initial state of code to which the transformation can be applied, and defines a modification from that initial state. A rule is then generated that includes a detector mechanism that, when selected, is configured to find locations in code that have the defined corresponding initial state of the corresponding transformation. Thus, the transformation may be applied to any code to which the rule is exposed.

Rules generation using learned repetitive code edits

A collaboration session is provided in which an owner computer system and a participant computer system are both members. While working within this session, the participant computer system is provided access to a multi-file workspace that is stored locally on the owner computer system. The owner computer system receives a request from the participant computer system. The request is used to gain access to the owner computer system's language service. In response to this request, the owner computer system remotes its language service so that the language service is accessible to the participant computer system.

Architecture for remoting language services

A collaboration session is provided in which an owner computer system and a participant computer system are both members. Within this collaboration session, both the owner and the participant computer systems are provided access to a multi-file workspace's build instance. Here, the multi-file workspace and the build instance are both stored locally on the owner computer system. Further, this workspace includes multiple files of source code. As a result, the build instance is a build of that source code. Various debug commands that are directed to the build instance may be received. Some of these commands originate from the owner computer system while others originate from the participant computer system. These debug commands are then multiplexed, and the build instance is executed in accordance with the multiplexed debug commands. As a result of executing the build instance, debugging data is generated.

Assistive, language-agnostic debugging with multi-collaborator control

An extensible editor for editing program source code can customize a default display provided by a language service in an IDE. The default display can be modified using source code-specific extension code. The extension code can be provided by a third party. The extension code can reside in the source code file to which it applies. The extension code can reside in a separate file from the file in which the source code resides. A naming convention can be used to enable the extensible editor to locate the extension code. Display entries can be filtered, added, removed, or modified using an API provided by the extensible editor. The API can allow the extension code to register for one or more events including but not limited to a completion hint event, a completion list event, and a function help event. User-provided extensions can be used to customize default display results.
