Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently execute the correction work of a source program by automatically displaying an error message screen and the editing screen of a source file where an error occurs on a display screen when correction is executed. CONSTITUTION:A program information file which previously stores information on the module constitution of the program and an operation environment file storing a translation method and the like are provided for an external storage device 5. The translation of the source program is executed. When the translation error occurs while the program is translated, it is displayed in the display screen 3 whether the correction of the source program is executed or not by interrupting translation. When correction is executed, the error message screen and the editing screen of the source file where the error occurs are automatically displayed in the display screen 3. Consequently, correction is executed while the display screen 3 is viewed. Thus, the efficiency of source program correction work is improved.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [1! E Required] Regarding the control method when a translation error occurs during source program translation, we will improve the efficiency of source program repair work.
1, prepare a program information file that stores information such as the module configuration of the T.me program and an operating environment file that stores translation methods, etc., execute translation of the source program, and perform translation during program translation. When an error occurs, the display screen displays whether or not to interrupt translation and correct the source program. If corrections are to be made, an error message screen and an edit screen for the source file where the error occurred are displayed on the display screen. Configure it to do so.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a control method when a translation error occurs during source program translation.

When a source program is translated and a translation error occurs, it is normal to edit the source file in which the error occurred while also checking the error message list while making corrections. Furthermore, it is extremely inefficient for the translator to start the editor every time an error occurs and memorize the error message, and this needs to be improved.

[Prior Art] When modifying a conventional source program, an operator starts up an editor to translate the program. If a translation error occurs during program execution, an error message will be displayed on the display screen at that point.

The operator remembers the error message displayed on the display screen, starts the editor, and corrects the program. Alternatively, you can print out the error message, start the editor, and modify the program.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In the conventional program correction method, when an error occurs, an error message is displayed to repair the source file in which the error has occurred, and an editor is automatically started. I couldn't.

Therefore, as described above, the operator should remember the error message displayed on the display screen, start the editor, and correct the program, or print out the error message and start the editor. , the program had to be modified.

Furthermore, after making repairs, it was necessary to re-translate the program by oneself, which was extremely inefficient when modifying the program.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and provides a control method when a program spring translation error occurs, which can improve the efficiency of source program correction work.

[Means for Solving the Problems] FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the principle of the system of the present invention. In the present invention, a program information file that stores information such as the module configuration of the program, and an operating environment file that stores translation methods, etc. are provided in advance (step 1), and a source program is translated (step 2). If a translation error occurs during program translation, the translation will be interrupted and a message will be displayed on the display screen asking whether or not to modify the source program (Step 3). The present invention is characterized in that an editing screen for the source file in which the error occurred is displayed (step 4).

[Operation] When making corrections, an error message screen and an editing screen for the source file in which the error occurred are automatically displayed on the display screen, making it possible to make corrections while looking at the display screen. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of source program modification work.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to drawing F1.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration for implementing the method of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a main memory that stores various information, 2 is a central processing unit (CPU) that performs various operations, 3 is a display device that displays various information, and 4 is various commands and position information. 5 is a disk storage device that stores source files and the like.

The operator uses an editor to read the source program stored in the disk storage device 5 onto the display device 3 and executes the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the basic configuration of the system of the present invention. Second
Components that are the same as those in the figures are designated by the same reference numerals. In the figure, 10 is a CPU/main storage unit. Main storage device 1
is a program information file 1a that stores program configuration information and an operating environment file 1b that stores translation methods.
It is more regulated. The CPU 2 includes a display control section 2a, a translation combination control section 2b, and an error message editor control section 2.
It is composed of C.

The disk storage device 5 is composed of external storage devices 5a and 5b. The external storage device W5a stores program information files and operating environment files, and the external storage device 5b stores program information files and operating environment files.
Source files, object files, and load modules are stored in .

In the system constructed in this way, when the source program is executed, the contents of the external storage device 5a are read out,
It is stored in the main storage device 1 as a program information file la and an operating environment file 1b.

On the other hand, the contents of the external storage device 5b are read by the CPU 2, and the source program is translated by the editor. In the source program translation process, CPU2
The display control unit 2a sequentially displays the translation results by the translation combination control unit 2b on the display device 3.

The CPU 2 displays a module configuration diagram 11 as shown in the figure on the display device 3. Translation combination control section 2b
The translation status is represented on the display device 3 using a reverse display, a mark 12, etc. as shown in the figure. And if any errors (including warnings) occur during translation,
The error message editor control unit 2c changes the > mark to an x mark 13, cancels the highlighted display, and interrupts the translation.

Then, a confirmation screen 14 is displayed asking whether or not to modify the source program, and if the source program is to be modified, an error message display screen 15 and an editing screen (editor screen) 16 for the source file where the error has occurred are displayed, and the so that it can be corrected. The operator inputs the modified program from the keyboard 4 (see FIG. 2).

When the editor is terminated after the correction, the CPU 2 starts translation again. However, if the source program is not modified, a confirmation screen 17 is displayed, allowing the user to select whether to translate the source file that requires translation next or to cancel the translation.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of the program translation method according to the present invention. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals. When translation is started, automatic translation combination 20 is activated,
First, the display control unit 2a extracts module configuration information from the program information file 1a, and creates a configuration diagram using the module names as leader lines.

Next, the modules that require translation are determined based on the source and object creation time, the steps to be taken in case an error occurs during translation are extracted from the operating environment file 1b, and the program configuration diagram and translation status are displayed on the display device 3. Then, the translation combination control unit 2b starts the C compiler 21.

Here, if an error occurs during program translation, the error is notified to the translation combination control section 2b, and the error list display program 22 and editor 23 are started. When the editor finishes, the translation linking unit 2b is again notified and the translation continues.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the algorithm of the program translation method according to the present invention. First, a module configuration diagram is displayed, and the source file name to be translated is highlighted and marked (S1). Next, translation is executed (S2).

Here, check if an error has occurred (S
3). If an error occurs, it is determined whether to correct it (S4). If no error occurs in step S3, select the next source file (S9
).

If no modification is selected in step S4, the next source file is selected without modification (S9). If correction is selected in step S4, an error list screen is displayed, and the source file in which the error occurred is displayed using an editor (S5). Next, the source program is modified (S6). Then, it is checked whether the correction has been made (S7), and if the correction has been made, the process returns to step S2 and translation is executed using the correction program (S2).

If the correction has not been made, the user selects whether to proceed to the next step or to move to the 11th grade (S8). When proceeding to the next step, the next source file is selected (S9). If not, the translation operation is stopped.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the translation status of the program displayed on the display device. When you first start translating, 31
The following screen will be displayed, and the name of the source file being translated will be shown with a highlighted 32 and a checkmark.

Here, if a translation error occurs, a screen 33 is displayed, and the user selects whether to correct the source file, translate the source file that needs translation next, or cancel the translation.

When source correction is selected at 33, an error list display screen 34 and an editor screen 35 are displayed, allowing the source file to be corrected. After finishing the editing, the editor returns to screen 31 and re-translation begins.

If you exit the editor without making any corrections, a confirmation screen 36 will be displayed, and you will then have to choose whether to translate the source files that require translation or cancel the translation. When you select the translation of the source file that needs to be translated next in 33 and 36, 37
The screen will appear and translation will continue. Similarly, if the user selects to cancel the translation, a screen 38 is displayed and the translation ends.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the efficiency of source program modification work, and the practical effects are great.
