Compiler + other closely related crap like linker.
We use the term "automatic programming" to mean "generating code from natural language".
The ultimate high level of which is of course to program with:
computer, make money
which is basically the goal of artificial general intelligence, especially according to The Employment Test definition of AGI.
The term has not always had that sense:
automatic programming has always been a euphemism for programming in a higher-level language than was then available to the programmer
sums it up.
But in the current AI boom, this is the sense that matters, so that's what we will go with.
  • OpenAI's GPT-4-turbo can generate and run Python code if it detects that the prompt would be better answered by Python, e.g. maths
Appears to be a very small number of newly created problems?
The tests are present in a gzip inside the Git repo: github.com/openai/human-eval/blob/master/data/HumanEval.jsonl.gz these researchers.
To get a quick overview of the problems with jq:
jq -r '"==== \(.task_id) \(.entry_point)\n\(.prompt)"' <HumanEval.jsonl 
The first two problems are:
==== HumanEval/0 has_close_elements
from typing import List


def has_close_elements(numbers: List[float], threshold: float) -> bool:
    """ Check if in given list of numbers, are any two numbers closer to each other than
    given threshold.
    >>> has_close_elements([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], 0.5)
    False
    >>> has_close_elements([1.0, 2.8, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 2.0], 0.3)
    True
    """

==== HumanEval/1 separate_paren_groups
from typing import List


def separate_paren_groups(paren_string: str) -> List[str]:
    """ Input to this function is a string containing multiple groups of nested parentheses. Your goal is to
    separate those group into separate strings and return the list of those.
    Separate groups are balanced (each open brace is properly closed) and not nested within each other
    Ignore any spaces in the input string.
    >>> separate_paren_groups('( ) (( )) (( )( ))')
    ['()', '(())', '(()())']
    """
so we understand that it takes as input an empty function with a docstring and you have to fill the function body.
The paper also shows that there can be other defined functions besides the one you have to implement.
Their most interesting subset, the -hard one, appears to be present at: huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/bigcodebench-hard in Parquet format. OMG why.
The tests make free usage of the Python standard library and other major external libraries, e.g. huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/bigcodebench-hard/viewer/default/v0.1.0_hf?views%5B%5D=v010_hf&row=0 uses FTPlib. Kind of cool.

Lowering means translating to a lower level representation.
Raising means translating to a higher level representation.
Decompilation is basically a synonym, or subset, of raising.

Saves preprocessor output and generated assembly to separate files.
Very hot stuff! It's like ISA-portable assembly, but with types! In particular it also it deals with calling conventions for us (since it is ISA-portable). TODO: isn't that exactly what C does? :-) LLVM IR vs C

Example: llvm/hello.ll adapted from: llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#module-structure but without double newline.
To execute it as mentioned at github.com/dfellis/llvm-hello-world we can either use their crazy assembly interpreter, tested on Ubuntu 22.10:
sudo apt install llvm-runtime
lli hello.ll
This seems to use puts from the C standard library.
Or we can Lower it to assembly of the local machine:
sudo apt install llvm
llc hello.ll
which produces:
hello.s
and then we can assemble link and run with gcc:
gcc -o hello.out hello.s -no-pie
./hello.out
or with clang:
clang -o hello.out hello.s -no-pie
./hello.out
hello.s uses the GNU GAS format, which clang is highly compatible with, so both should work in general.
LLVM front-end for C and related language like C++ etc.
Reproducible builds allow anyone to verify that a binary large object contains what it claims to contain!
