US Patent 10521209 Machine-based normalization of machine instructions

Computer source code maintenance represents a significant aspect of computer systems. Code that was developed for one platform, in one language, may require a significant investment in human effort to port such code to another platform or language. Converting source code to a language-agnostic source code allows a user to view the interaction of various portions of the source code in a unified view. Additionally, the language-agnostic source code may be automatically regenerated by a processor to a different platform or language. As a further benefit, documentation, standards-compliance, security, and/or other non-functional requirements may be provided to further enhance the utility of the original source code.
