Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an information output method for debugging software. In particular, the present invention relates to a processing method for outputting collected information when software terminates abnormally.

〔overview〕

The present invention is a debugging information output method for software inspection that outputs intermediate information about the parts that have operated up to the point of abnormal termination when software started for software inspection terminates abnormally. By eliminating the need to specify output information every time the software is started, and by specifying the output information necessary for the location where the software terminated abnormally, you can specify the output information only once, and when the software terminates abnormally. This eliminates the need to change the information output specification and restart, and eliminates the output of unnecessary information upon normal termination.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, it has been common practice to specify the output of information necessary for debugging for each program or when starting software.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional debug information output method described above, it is necessary to specify the information to be output for each program.
- When starting a large number of programs at once, there is a drawback that corrections must be made for the number of programs to be started.

In addition, the information to be output must be set when the software is started, and if the software terminates abnormally, the necessary information output specification has not been specified, so the information output specification must be changed and the software restarted. Furthermore, it has the disadvantage that unnecessary information is output when it terminates normally.

The present invention eliminates these drawbacks by allowing output information to be specified only once, eliminating the need to change the information output specification and restarting when an abnormal termination occurs, and eliminating the need for restarting when an abnormal termination occurs. The purpose of this invention is to provide a method that can eliminate the output of necessary information.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a debugging information output method that outputs intermediate information up to the point of abnormal termination when a program control means for inspecting software terminates abnormally. an information registration means for registering output designation information for specifying; an information analysis means for analyzing the information registered by the information registration means; and an information analysis means for collecting and storing intermediate information according to the specification of the information analyzed by the information analysis means. an intermediate information generation means for generating an intermediate information file for processing; an abnormal termination analysis means for analyzing the abnormal termination point when the activated program control means terminates abnormally; and an abnormal termination analysis means for determining abnormal termination by the abnormal termination analysis means. intermediate information input means for inputting the intermediate information collected in the intermediate information file by the intermediate information generating means and outputting it to the information control means when the intermediate information is generated; and an information output for outputting the input intermediate information as a middle rJJ information list. It is characterized by comprising means.

[Effect]

Under the control of the information control means, the information registration means registers output designation information specifying intermediate information to be collected, and the information analysis means analyzes the information registered by the information registration means. Further, the intermediate information generation means generates and opens an intermediate information file for storing intermediate information to be collected according to the specification of the information analyzed by the information analysis means, stores and closes the collected intermediate information, and performs abnormal termination analysis. The means determines whether or not the activated software has terminated normally, and if it has terminated abnormally, analyzes the location where the software terminated abnormally. When the abnormal termination analysis means determines that the abnormal termination has occurred, the intermediate information input means inputs the intermediate information from the intermediate information file in order to output the intermediate information collected in the intermediate information file by the intermediate information generation means, and outputs the information. The means outputs the input intermediate information as an intermediate information list.

In this way, you can specify the output information only once, eliminate the need to change the information output specification and restart when it terminates abnormally, and eliminate the output of unnecessary information when it terminates normally. Furthermore, the time required for restarting and the amount of paper used can be reduced.

The embodiment system of the present invention includes an information control means 12 for controlling the transmission and reception of information, an information registration means 2 for registering output specification information 1 for specifying intermediate information to be collected, and saving it in an information holding area 3; An information analysis means 4 that analyzes the information registered by the registration means 2, and an intermediate information file 6 for collecting and storing intermediate information according to the specifications of the information analyzed by the information analysis means 4, which is generated, opened, and collected. intermediate information generating means 5 which stores and closes the intermediate information that has been generated; abnormal termination analysis means 8 which determines whether or not the started software has terminated normally and analyzes the abnormal termination point in the case of abnormal termination; There is a number save area 11 for saving the file number of intermediate information to be output when the abnormal termination occurs, and a number saving area 11 for saving the file number of intermediate information to be output when the abnormal termination is performed. an intermediate information input means 7 for inputting intermediate information and outputting it to the information control means 12; and an intermediate information list 10 for inputting the input intermediate information.
and an information output means 9 for outputting as follows.

Next, the operation of the method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail.

The output designation information 1 is read in by the information registration means 2 and set in the information holding area 3 in advance.

As the output designation information 1, for example, three cards as shown in FIG. 5 are designated. In response to a computer resource utilization request from a user, the information control means 12 transfers control to the information analysis means 4 through the information analysis means calling section 4-1.

The information analysis means 4 analyzes the output designation information 1 set in the information holding area 3 so that it can be recognized in subsequent processing.

Next, the information control means 12 transfers control to the intermediate information generation means 5 through the intermediate information generation means calling section 4-2 shown in FIG. The intermediate information generating means 5 generates intermediate information files for the types of information set in the information holding area 3 by the intermediate information file generating section 2-1 shown in FIG. Open all the intermediate information files generated by the file generation section 2-1, and generate the information corresponding to the output specification information 1 of the information holding area 3 into each intermediate information file 6 by the intermediate information generation section 2-3. When the generation is completed, all files are closed by the intermediate information file closing unit 2-4.

In the case of the output specification information shown in FIG. 5, three intermediate information files are generated, all the generated files are opened, C phase information is generated in the first intermediate information file, and C phase information is generated in the second intermediate information file. The b-phase information is generated in the third intermediate information file, and the C phase information is generated in the third intermediate information file.
Phase information is generated and the file is closed.

Next, the information control means 12 transfers control to the abnormal termination analysis means 8 through the abnormal termination analysis means calling section 4-3 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the abnormal termination analysis means 8 determines whether or not the software has terminated abnormally using the termination determination section 3-1. In case of abnormal termination, output specification determination unit 3
-2 determines whether the phase that ended abnormally matches the phase in the information holding area 3, and if they match, the registration number securing unit 3-3 stores the registered order of the matching output designation information 1 in the number saving area. 11, and if they do not match, the registration number initialization unit 3-4 initializes the number save area 11.

Next, the information control means 12 determines the state of the number save area 11 by the abnormal termination determination section 4-4 shown in FIG. An intermediate information file equal to the value in the number save area 11 is opened by the intermediate information file input opening section 4-5.

Control is then transferred to the intermediate information input means 7 by the intermediate information input means calling section 4-6. The intermediate information input means 7 reads code by code from the file opened by the intermediate information file input opening section 4-5.

Next, the information control means 12 determines whether or not the input information has ended using the input information end determination section 4-7 shown in FIG. Closes the existing intermediate information file and ends the process. If the input information is not finished, the information output means calling section 4-8 transfers control to the information output means 9, outputs the input information as intermediate information list No., and transfers control to the intermediate information input means calling section 4-6.

If you appoint in the b phase using the output specification information in Figure 5, it will end abnormally and the abnormally ended phase will match the phase in information holding area 3, so save the number "2" which is the order in which the b phase was registered. area 11, open the second intermediate information file, and output all of the information in ■ and ■ to the intermediate information list 10.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, by registering the information to be output in advance, it becomes unnecessary to specify the output information every time the software is started, and the output information can be specified only once.

In addition, because the necessary output information is specified for the part that terminated abnormally, unnecessary information is not output in the case of normal termination (but necessary information is output in the case of abnormal termination). This eliminates the need to restart the computer, which has the effect of reducing the time required for restarting and the amount of paper used.
