Configuration management through information and code injection at compile time
Systems and methods for configuration management through information and code injection at compile time. An example method comprises: receiving a source code comprising one or more references to a variable; receiving metadata associated with the source code, wherein the metadata specifies a range of values of the variable; and identifying, in view of the range of values of the variable, a reachable section of the source code.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processing device, a source code comprising one or more references to a run-time variable;
receiving metadata that specifies a range of run-time values of the run-time variable at a specific location in the source code;
identifying, at compile time, an unreachable section of the source code, wherein the unreachable section is defined by a comparison operation that fails based on a plurality of discrete run-time values of the run-time variable; and
excluding the unreachable section from a compilation scope of the source code.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, at compile time, a reachable section of the source code; and
compiling the reachable section of the source code.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata is provided by a markup in the source code.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata is provided by a preprocessor directive.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata is provided by a configuration file.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
compiling the source code into an object code.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata is provided by a configuration of an integrated development environment (IDE).
8. A system comprising:
a memory;
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
receive a source code comprising one or more references to a run-time variable;
receive metadata that specifies a range of run-time values of the run-time variable at a specific location in the source code;
identify, at compile time, an unreachable section of the source code, wherein the unreachable section is defined by a comparison operation that fails based on a plurality of discrete run-time values of the run-time variable; and
exclude the unreachable section from a compilation scope of the source code.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further to:
identify, at compile time, a reachable section of the source code; and
compile the reachable section of the source code.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the metadata is provided by a markup in the source code.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the metadata is provided by a preprocessor directive.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the metadata is provided by a configuration file.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further to:
compile the source code into an object code.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the metadata is provided by a configuration of an integrated development environment (IDE).
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
receive a source code comprising one or more references to a run-time variable;
receive metadata that specifies a range of run-time values of the run-time variable at a specific location in the source code;
identify, at compile time, an unreachable section of the source code, wherein the unreachable section is defined by a comparison operation that fails based on a plurality of discrete run-time values of the run-time variable; and
exclude the unreachable section from a compilation scope of the source code.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the metadata is provided by a markup in the source code.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the metadata is provided by a preprocessor directive.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the metadata is provided by a configuration file.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising executable instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
compile the source code into an object code.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the metadata is provided by a configuration of an integrated development environment (IDE).
