Abstract

PURPOSE:To acquire the debug information in accordance with a system and to attain the effective use of resources together with improvement of the processing speed by using a means which designates the acquiring type of the debug information with definition of the environment and a means which decides the propriety for acquisition of the debug information based on the acquired debug information designation value. CONSTITUTION:A communication program 3 fetches out a debug information control table 9, an acquired debug information type instruction reception means 6 which takes an acquired debug information type instruction out of an environment definition file 8 and writes it into the table 9, a debug information store area 10, a debug information acquiring means 7 which decides the propriety for acquisition of the debug information at occurrence of the lower rank communication control pair debug information 12 storing the transfer of data between the program 3 and a lower rank communication control means 4 and stores the acquired debug information in the area 10, and a communication system control means 5. In such a constitution, the acquisition of the debug information can be selected in accordance with a system. Then it is possible to prevent the waste of the resources and the deterioration of the processing speed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a debug information acquisition method for a communication control program.

[Conventional technology]

The debug information of the communication control program is information that records several points about the operating status of the communication control program based on a certain viewpoint. By accumulating this information, it is possible to know the control flow of the communication control program, the status of receiving and passing information with other programs, etc.

Conventionally, acquisition of debug information in a communication control program has been performed unconditionally at all set points, regardless of the type of debug information.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional technology described above is based on the type of debug information.
Since there is no means to decide whether to acquire information or not, it is not possible to select the acquisition of debug information according to the system, and unnecessary debug information is acquired, resulting in wasted use of resources and slowing down of processing speed. It has the problem of causing a decline.

[Means to solve the problem]

A debug information acquisition method for a communication control program according to the present invention includes: acquisition debug information type instruction setting means for capturing the type of debug information specified by an environment definition and setting it in a debug information management table when the communication control program is started; The present invention is characterized by being provided with a debug information acquisition means that, when the communication system control means requests the acquisition of debug information, queries the acquired debug information specified value in the debug information management table to determine whether or not acquisition is possible. .

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a debug information acquisition and selection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the host 1, there is a higher-level application program (hereinafter referred to as AP) 2, a communication control program 3, and a lower-level communication control means 4. The communication program 3 obtains debug information types from the debug information management table 9 and the environment definition file 8. an acquisition debug information type instruction framer 6 for extracting the instruction and writing it into the debug information management table 9;
When lower-layer communication control-to-debug information 12 is generated that stores data exchange and passing between the debug information storage area 10, the communication control program 3, and the lower-layer communication control means 4,
It has debug information acquisition means 7 that determines whether or not acquisition is possible based on information in debug information management table 9 and stores it in debug information storage area 10, and communication system control means.

Between the upper API and the communication control program 3, the upper API to debug information 1 records the exchange of data between the two.
1 is given and received.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the acquisition debug information type indicating means 6. The acquisition debug information type instruction setting means 6 starts accepting processing in response to a command from the communication system control means 5. Step 21
In step 22, the value indicating the debug information to be acquired is extracted from the environment definition file 8, and the value indicating the acquired debug information extracted in step 22 is stored in the acquisition debug information instruction storage area in the debug information management table 9, and the acceptance process is terminated. do.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the debug information acquisition means 7. Upon generation of each debug information, the communication system control means 5 issues a command, and the debug information acquisition means 7 starts acquisition processing.

In step 31, the acquired debug information instruction value is referred to from the debug information management table 9, and in step 32, it is determined whether acquisition of the debug information requested to be acquired has been instructed. If it is determined that debug information is not to be acquired, the debug information means 7 ends the acquisition process. If it is determined that debug information is to be acquired, the process proceeds to step 33, where the debug information is stored in the debug information storage area 10, and the acquisition process is terminated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides debug information according to the system by providing means for specifying the acquisition type of debug information based on the environment definition and means for determining whether debug information can be acquired based on the specified value of acquired debug information. This has the effect of being able to obtain information, making effective use of resources, and improving processing speed.
