Abstract

PURPOSE:To immediately correct a source program and to remarkably simplify the compilation and the corrective work of the program by automatically starting up an editor when an error occurs in performing the compilation, and displaying a faulty part in the source program and the cause of the error. CONSTITUTION:A compilation error judging means 4 which judges the error by referring to an error message file outputted from a compiler, a retrieval means 8 which retrieves the faulty part in the source program 1, and error display means 9, 10 which display retrieved error part and cause of the error in the compilation are provided, and when the error is detected when the compilation is completed, a source program display picture used by the editor and an error part/error cause display area used by the error display means are displayed simultaneously with a picture division means 9, and the correction of the source program is performed on a picture on one side while observing the display of the error on the picture on the other side, and the compiler is restarted up by performing the automatic start-up of the program successively. In such a way, an operation can be easily performed and efficiency can be improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a device for creating a program in a program development system, and particularly relates to a method of using an editor for creating a source program and a compiler for translating the source program in conjunction with each other. .

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when translating and modifying a source program in a program development system, as shown in FIG. The cause is output to the error list 23. After that, start the editor 24 which is a source program correction means, display the source program on the screen 25, and while looking at the error list 23 of the error locations and error causes output by the compiler 22, check the error locations of the source program on the editor screen 25. Correct. Editor 24 after completing the above corrections
was terminated, the compiler 22 was restarted, and recompilation was performed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional method described above, when an error occurs during compilation, the compiler outputs the error location and cause of the error in the source program to a list using the list output device, then starts an editor, and while referring to the list, It is necessary to find the error location in the source program, complete the correction, restart the compiler, and recompile the source program. Therefore, the same operation must be repeated every time an error occurs during compilation, and it is necessary to repeat compilation several times in the process of compiling one program, making the operation cumbersome and inefficient. The disadvantage is that it worsens.

[Means to solve the problem]

The compiler-editor interlocking method of the present invention includes: a compile error determining means for determining an error by referring to an error message file output by a compiler; a search means for searching for an error location in a source program based on the error message file; Error display means for displaying the error location and error cause during compilation searched by the search means, and when an error is detected by the compilation error determination means at the end of compilation, the error location search means for the source program is performed by the program startup means. and an editor, which is a compiling error display means and a source program correction means, are started, and the source program display screen used by the editor and the error location/error cause display screen used by the error display means are simultaneously displayed by the screen splitting means. This is achieved by correcting the source program on the other screen while viewing the error display on one screen, and then restarting the compiler and recompiling the source program through automatic program startup.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the compiler-editor interlocking system of the present invention. In Figure 1, 1 is a file device that stores the program, 2 is a compiler that translates the source program and creates a compilation unit, 3 is a file device that stores the compilation unit, and 4 is an error message output by the compiler after compiling the source program. Compile error determining means for searching file 6 and determining whether there is a compile error.

5 is a program automatic starting means for automatically starting an editor and an error search means; 6 is an error message file that stores the error location and error cause output from the compiler 2; 7 is an editor for creating and modifying a source program; 8 is a Error search means for searching for error locations in a source program based on information in an error message file; 9 displays simultaneously the source program screen output from the editor and the error location and error cause screen output from the error search means; A screen split display means outputs the screen information on one screen by dividing the screen, and 10 is a terminal device equipped with a display device that displays screen information outputted from the screen split display means on the screen and a keyboard having a function of inputting keystroke information.

When the compilation of the source program is completed, the compile error determining means 4 searches the error message file 6 output by the compiler 2, and if an error is found, the program automatic starting means 5 starts up the editor 7 and the error searching means 8.

The error search means 8 searches the source program 1 based on the error location stored in the error message file 6, and passes the search location and error cause to the screen split display means 9 as screen information. Further, the editor 7 passes the source program as screen information to the screen split display means 9. The screen split display means 9 displays the received two screen information simultaneously on the display of the terminal device 10, and the source program 1 is modified through the editor 7 from the screen.

When the modification of the source program is completed, the program automatic starting means 5 starts up the compiler 2, and recompilation processing of the source program 1 can be started.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention automatically launches an editor when an error occurs during compilation and displays the error location and cause of the error in the source program.
The advantage is that the source program can be modified immediately, and the compiler is automatically launched and compiled after the modification is completed, greatly simplifying the work of compiling and modifying the program during program creation. .

Claims (1)

[Claims] a compile error determination means for determining an error by referring to an error message file output by a compiler; a search means for searching for an error in a source program based on the error message file; and an error during compilation searched for by the search means. and an error display means for displaying the location and cause of the error, and when an error is detected by the compile error determination means at the end of compilation, the program startup means detects the error location search means for the source program, the error display means at the time of compilation, and the source program. The editor, which is a program modification means, is started, and the source program display screen used by the editor and the error location/error cause display screen used by the error display means are simultaneously displayed by the screen splitting means, and the error display can be viewed on one screen. The compiler-editor interlocking method is characterized in that the source program is modified on the other screen, and the compiler is restarted by automatic program startup to recompile the source program.
