HIERARCHICAL TRANSLATION BETWEEN LOW-LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND HIGH-LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184556 titled 'HIERARCHICAL TRANSLATION BETWEEN LOW-LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND HIGH-LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for translating between low-level languages and high-level languages by generating natural language descriptions of assembly code.

  • Receiving source code in assembly language with multiple code blocks.
  • Processing each line of assembly code to generate a natural language description.
  • Generating a natural language description of each code block.
  • Generating a natural language description of the entire source code.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in software development tools to help programmers understand and document complex assembly code more easily.

Problems Solved

1. Simplifying the understanding of low-level assembly code for developers. 2. Enhancing the documentation and readability of assembly code.

Benefits

1. Improved code comprehension for developers. 2. Enhanced code documentation and maintainability. 3. Facilitates communication between developers working with different programming languages.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing software development processes by providing automated natural language descriptions of assembly code.

Possible Prior Art

There are existing tools and plugins that provide code documentation and translation services, but none specifically focused on generating natural language descriptions of assembly code.

What are the potential limitations of this technology?

One potential limitation of this technology could be the accuracy of the generated natural language descriptions, as complex assembly code may require more detailed explanations that could be challenging to automate.

How does this technology compare to existing solutions?

This technology offers a unique approach to translating assembly code into natural language descriptions, which could provide a more intuitive and user-friendly experience compared to traditional code documentation tools.


Original Abstract Submitted

techniques are described herein for translating between low-level languages and high-level languages. a method includes: receiving first source code in assembly language, the first source code including a plurality of code blocks, and each code block of the plurality of code blocks including a plurality of lines of assembly code; for each of the plurality of code blocks: for each of the plurality of lines of assembly code in the code block, processing the line of assembly code to generate a natural language description of the line of assembly code; and processing the code block and the natural language descriptions of the plurality of lines of assembly code in the code block to generate a natural language description of the code block; and processing the natural language descriptions of the plurality of code blocks to generate a natural language description of the first source code.
