DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a text generation management apparatus for managing a generation indicating an update history of a program text in a computer.

[0002] As computer program systems have become larger and program parts have been developed and reused,
It is particularly necessary that the so-called generation management for managing the update history of the program in the course of developing and maintaining the program be performed reliably.

If the generation management is performed reliably so as to reflect the actual state of the program, it is possible to grasp the status of the program development project from the generation management information.

[0004]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of generation management information generated in a generation management file, which is composed of generation information and update management information.

[0005] As shown in the figure, for example, generation information is stored from the latest generation information to the initial generation.
Each generation information is composed of a generation number and an update record. The generation number is a serial number indicating the generation, and the update record records information such as a text update amount (for example, the number of text lines) and an update date in the current generation. I do.

[0006] The update management information is information indicating the update content of the text of the source program. In the case of deletion, the update information includes an update category "D" and a generation number for performing the deletion. The line indicating “end” is sandwiched between lines of text of the previous generation to be deleted.

[0007] In the case of insertion, update information consisting of an update category "I" and a generation number at which the insertion is performed, and an "end of update" line sandwiching the line of the text to be inserted are replaced with the previous generation text. Show at the insertion position. Replace a line with new content, in the case of replacement, a combination of deletion and insertion. In the figure, content lines to be deleted and inserted are collectively shown as updated content lines.

[0008] Here, the previous generation text is the latest generation text for the part to be deleted and inserted, and the part that has not been changed is the same content line as the initial registration contents, and the part that has been changed. For, the content line of the latest generation of the inserted text in that part is targeted.

As is well known, the modification of the text of a source program is performed using a so-called text editor. Therefore, the process of generating and registering the generation management information as described above is linked with the correction work by the text editor, and the generation management information is registered at the end of the correction work.

However, it is often the case that the correction work for a certain series of corrections is carried out by using a text editor in several steps, and that the code conversion for generating the execution code of the program is abnormal. Is detected, further correction is required, so that repetition of the correction operation by the text editor does not simply correspond to substantial updating of the program.

Therefore, the generation management information obtained as described above cannot reliably reflect the actual state of the program, and it is easy to restore the text of the generation corresponding to a certain execution code from the generation management information. In addition, it is difficult to use generation management information as management data for development projects and the like.

The present invention synchronizes the registration of the generation management information with the generation of the execution code, thereby synchronizing with the substantial correction of the program, and determining whether there is an abnormality detected by the code conversion in the generation management information. It is an object of the present invention to provide a text generation management processing apparatus that can reflect normal and abnormal generations by reflecting them.

[0013]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a text generation management processing apparatus, which includes a code conversion unit 1 and a generation management registration unit 2.

The code conversion unit 1 executes a conversion process of a predetermined text 3 of a source program, generates a program consisting of a predetermined execution code 4, and according to a predetermined state of the text detected in the conversion process. Information 5 indicating whether the text 3 is normal or abnormal is notified to the generation management registration unit 2.

The generation management registration section 2 receives the information 5 indicating the classification from the code conversion section 1 and starts up, generates predetermined generation management information 6 for the text 3, and generates the generation management information 5.
Generates a section display 7 of the text according to the section.

[0016]

With the generation management processing device of the present invention, generation management information is obtained by synchronizing the generation of an execution code by code conversion of a text with the progress of a text generation, and the generation management information is included in the generation management information. A classification display indicating whether the text is normal or abnormal is attached based on the processing result of the code conversion.

Therefore, irrespective of the manner of text correction, the generation management information corresponding to the substantial text change can be reliably collected. Therefore, it is easy to manage the generation of the text corresponding to the execution code, and it is possible to extract, for example, only a normal change as a valid update of the generation from the generation management information by displaying the divisions. Thus, it can be used more effectively as a management material for grasping the maintenance status.

[0018]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1, a text 3 is a source program separately created and modified by a conventional text editor.

The code conversion unit 1 executes a function of a compiler for converting a source program into an execution code program, and generates an execution code 4 from the text 3. At this time, according to the presence / absence of an error detected in the text 3, the section information 5 indicating whether the text 3 is normal or abnormal is generated. .

Therefore, the generation management registration unit 2 refers to the text 3 and the current generation management information 6 and generates the new generation generation management information 6 of the text 3 in the same manner as in the related art. However, according to the present invention, a section display based on the section information 5 is added corresponding to each generation.

That is, the generation management information 6 is composed of, for example, generation information and update management information as in the conventional case, and the update management information is composed of the same data as in the conventional case as shown in FIG. 3, for example.

The generation information is basically the same as in FIG. 3, and the generation information is stored up to the initial generation with the latest generation information at the top. The generation information of each generation is the same as the conventional generation number and update information. A record is provided, and a column of normal / abnormal classification is provided in addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 2. According to the classification information 5, this column is “0” for normal and “1” for abnormal. Is recorded as a divisional display.

[0023]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, in the generation management of a computer program, the registration of the generation is synchronized with the substantial modification of the program, and the abnormality detected by the code conversion is eliminated. The presence / absence is reflected in the generation management information so that normal and abnormal generations can be identified, making it easier to manage the text in accordance with the execution code, and using the generation management information for program development and maintenance work management. There is a remarkable industrial effect that it can be used effectively.
