The provision of methods and apparatus to determine package identity for an application build. The idea is based on providing a mapping of package with affiliated attributes such as paths used for include or linking, along with reverse mappings. This mapping could be provided through any number of conventional environments such as program development environments or operating system registries: Tools would access this information through a programmatic interface, and use that information to identify packages affiliated with some information. For example, a symbol in a program would be defined in some file. That file would be in a path, which maps to the package identity. Thus, the symbol definition can be conceptually affiliated with a package.

A system and method for processing documents, such as XML documents, wherein the method includes the steps of: receiving a query comprising search criteria; receiving at least a portion of a document; modifying the search criteria such that constraints specifying a backward relation may be reformulated into constraints specifying a forward relation; processing the document using the modified criteria; and locating one or more nodes that satisfy the search criteria; and, emitting the selected nodes as output.

A method for compressing an LR, LALR, or SLR parsing table into a compact and time-efficient representation which is machine and language independent, and allows access to table entries with a constant number of primitive operations. The primitive operations used: addition, comparison, and vector indexing, are in general very efficiently implemented on most machines, and are the key to the superior time performance of this method over other methods. Transformations are applied to the parsing table prior to compression.
