Abstract

Claims (53)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

initiating, in response to a user interaction and a portion of code being passed through an automatic syntax tree (AST) generator, a fallibility skip mode within a programming environment;

identifying a code module to be translated from a first coding language to a second coding language, the code module including a function statement of an AST;

generating a modified function statement based on the function statement and the initiation of the fallibility skip mode, further comprising:

updating a decorator list of the function statement with a decorator function; and

adding the decorator function to a module body of the code module;

adding one or more exception handling functions based on the modified function statement and the fallibility skip mode, wherein the adding comprises searching, by the programming environment and in response to the identifying the code module, exception handling in the fallibility skip mode; and

generating a modified code module in the second coding language based on the fallibility skip mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the modified function statement further comprises:

generating a try statement configured to catch one or more exceptions; and

inserting a body of the function statement into the try statement.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

setting one or more handlers of the try statement to an exception handling function of the one or more exception handling functions; and

inserting the try statement into the function statement.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more exception handling functions is added to a module body of the code module.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

adding the one or more exception handling functions to the module body of the code module with the decorator function.

6. A system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a computer-readable storage medium, coupled to the one or more processors, storing program instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

initiating, in response to a user interaction and a portion of code being passed through an automatic syntax tree (AST) generator, a fallibility skip mode within a programming environment;

identifying a code module to be translated from a first coding language to a second coding language, the code module including a function statement of an AST;

generating a modified function statement based on the function statement and the initiation of the fallibility skip mode, further comprising:

updating a decorator list of the function statement with a decorator function; and

adding the decorator function to a module body of the code module;

adding one or more exception handling functions based on the modified function statement and the fallibility skip mode, wherein the adding comprises searching, by the programming environment in response to the identifying the code module, exception handling in the fallibility skip mode; and

generating a modified code module in the second coding language based on the fallibility skip mode.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein generating the modified function statement further comprises:

generating a try statement configured to catch one or more exceptions; and

inserting a body of the function statement into the try statement.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

setting one or more handlers of the try statement to an exception handling function of the one or more exception handling functions; and

inserting the try statement into the function statement.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more exception handling functions is added to a module body of the code module.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

adding the one or more exception handling functions to the module body of the code module with the decorator function.

11. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

initiating, in response to a user interaction and a portion of code being passed through an automatic syntax tree (AST) generator, a fallibility skip mode within a programming environment;

identifying a code module to be translated from a first coding language to a second coding language, the code module including a function statement of an AST;

generating a modified function statement based on the function statement and the initiation of the fallibility skip mode, further comprising:

updating a decorator list of the function statement with a decorator function; and

adding the decorator function to a module body of the code module;

adding one or more exception handling functions based on the modified function statement and the fallibility skip mode, wherein the adding comprises searching, by the programming environment in response to the identifying the code module, exception handling in the fallibility skip mode; and

generating a modified code module in the second coding language based on the fallibility skip mode.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein generating the modified function statement further comprises:

generating a try statement configured to catch one or more exceptions; and

inserting a body of the function statement into the try statement.

13. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:

setting one or more handlers of the try statement to an exception handling function of the one or more exception handling functions; and

inserting the try statement into the function statement.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the one or more exception handling functions is added to a module body of the code module.

15. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:

adding the one or more exception handling functions to the module body of the code module with the decorator function.
