Abstract
Data typing information for heterogeneous language components is obtained during software development without requiring executable regeneration. After source code is changed, dependent compiled components, which are written in multiple high-level programming languages, are identified. A query engine obtains data typing information of the dependent components, such as function signatures and class definition, directly from internal compiler-created structures for the respective programming languages. Through a synchronizer, a shared model is automatically populated with the data typing information. The updated model supports cross-language software development operations such as autocompletion, refactoring, dependency finding, and definition go-to, without regeneration of an executable code unit which reflects the changed source code. In cases involving SQL or Transact-SQL (T-SQL), a Data Definition Language file can be automatically generated from the data typing information.
