Abstract
An exemplary method includes parsing metadata associated with at least a portion of source code to construct a truncated parse tree; selecting a segment of the truncated parse tree; parsing metadata associated with the selected segment to construct one or more additional parse tree branches; and analyzing the truncated parse tree and the one or more additional parse tree branches. Such an exemplary method optionally includes generating code based, at least in part, on the analyzing and/or optionally includes purging or overwriting memory associated with the one or more additional parse tree branches. Other exemplary methods, devices and/or systems are also disclosed.
