Systems and methods for handling macro compatibility for documents at a storage system
A document including one or more macros in a first programming language is identified. A determination is made that one or more objects of the document are referenced by a function defined by a macro of the one or more macros. The function is converted into one or more sets of operations represented in a first programming language. A user is provided with access to the one or more objects of the document based on the one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language.
1. A method performed by a set of processing devices, the method comprising:
identifying a document of a storage system, the document comprising one or more macros in a first programming language, wherein the first programming language is not supported by the storage system;
determining that one or more objects of the document are referenced by a function defined by a macro of the one or more macros;
converting the function into one or more sets of operations represented in a second programming language, wherein the second programming language is supported by the storage system; and
providing a user with access to the one or more objects of the document based on the one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the storage system is a network-based storage system.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each set of operations corresponds to one of one or more candidate object types associated with the object, and wherein at least one of the one or more sets of operations is to be performed with respect to the object responsive to receiving an indication of a corresponding candidate object type for the object during execution of the macro.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
determining a semantic context for the object referenced by the function; and
identifying the one or more candidate object types associated with the object based on the determined semantic context.
5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising
parsing the one or more macros of the document into a syntax tree in the first programming language, the syntax tree comprising a plurality of nodes each corresponding to at least one of a respective object included in the macro or a respective function to be performed with respect to the object.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein converting the function into one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language comprises generating a set of nodes for a syntax tree in the second programming language, wherein each of the set of nodes corresponds to at least one of a candidate object type of the one or more candidate object types or a set of operations of the one or more sets of operations to be performed for the object.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the function corresponds to a default function for the macro in the first programming language, and wherein the method further comprises:
identifying the one or more sets of operations, wherein each of the one or more sets of operations corresponds to a default set of operations performed for the default function in the first programming language, and wherein each default set of operations is associated with a candidate object type referenced during execution of the macro.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying a set of operations of the one or more sets of operations comprises:
identifying, in a data structure associated with the default function of the macro in the first programming language, an entry corresponding to the candidate object type; and
extracting, from the identified entry, a default set of operations to be performed for the default function based on the corresponding candidate object type.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first programming language is associated with a first document format type and the second programming language is associated with a second document format type.
10. A system comprising:
a memory; and
a set of processing devices coupled to the memory, the set of processing devices to perform operations comprising:
identifying a document of a storage system, the document comprising one or more macros in a first programming language, wherein the first programming language is not supported by the storage system;
determining that one or more objects of the document are referenced by a function defined by a macro of the one or more macros of the document;
converting the function into one or more sets of operations represented in a second programming language, wherein the second programming language is supported by the storage system; and
providing a user with access to the one or more objects of the document based on the one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the storage system is a network-based storage system.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein each set of operations corresponds to one of one or more candidate object types associated with the object, and wherein at least one of the one or more sets of operations is to be performed with respect to the object responsive to receiving an indication of a corresponding candidate object type for the object during execution of the macro.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
determining a semantic context for the object referenced by the function; and
identifying the one or more candidate object types associated with the object based on the determined semantic context.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
parsing the one or more macros of the document into a syntax tree in the first programming language, the syntax tree comprising a plurality of nodes each corresponding to at least one of a respective object included in the macro or a respective function to be performed with respect to the object.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein converting the function into one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language comprises generating a set of nodes for a syntax tree in the second programming language, wherein each of the set of nodes corresponds to at least one of a candidate object type of the one or more candidate object types or a set of operations of the one or more sets of operations to be performed for the object.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the function corresponds to a default function for the macro in the first programming language, and wherein the operations further comprise:
identifying the one or more sets of operations, wherein each of the one or more sets of operations corresponds to a default set of operations performed for the default function in the first programming language, and wherein each default set of operations is associated with a candidate object type referenced during execution of the macro.
17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for a server that, when executed by a set of processing devices, cause the set of processing devices to perform operations comprising:
identifying a document of a storage system, the document comprising one or more macros in a first programming language, wherein the first programming language is not supported by the storage system;
determining that one or more objects of the document are referenced by a function defined by a macro of the one or more macros of the document;
converting the function into one or more sets of operations represented in a second programming language, wherein the second programming language is supported by the storage system; and
providing a user with access to the one or more objects of the document based on the one or more sets of operations represented in the second programming language.
18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the storage system is a network-based storage system.
19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein each set of operations corresponds to one of one or more candidate object types associated with the object, and wherein at least one of the one or more sets of operations is to be performed with respect to the object responsive to receiving an indication of a corresponding candidate object type for the object during execution of the macro.
20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , the operations further comprising:
determining a semantic context for the object referenced by the function; and
identifying the one or more candidate object types associated with the object based on the determined semantic context.
