Edit the program information by referring to .

Here, the format of the compile list information is information that indicates what kind of structure and format the compile list information of each language has, and by referring to this format, it is possible to analyze the compile list information of each language. Become. In addition, the program information format is information about what kind of information should be given to a given program validity checker or failure analysis device, and in what format it should be given. By referring to , information can be selected and information formats can be converted during editing, and program information having a predetermined format can be created.

The execution control means 2 is a means for controlling the execution of the entire program information editing apparatus 10 by controlling each of the above-mentioned means 1.3.4.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be described. First, the general processing flow for generating the compile list information 5 will be described with reference to the second circle. In Figure 2,
When the compiler 11 is instructed to translate the source program 12 by the translation instruction 13, the compiler 11 inputs and compiles the source program 12, generates the compile unit 11, and simultaneously generates the compile list information 5.

This compile list information 5 includes the source program 12
The information generated by the compiler 11 when the program is compiled includes the type of language in which the program was created;
Also, for the data part, the name of the data 2 its attributes 1 allocation is the address, the number of digit arrays, for the procedure part, the procedure name 9 line number, their allocation is the address, and others are added when outputting the compile list. information is included in each.

Next, the operation of the program information editing device 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

When the execution control means 2 of the program information editing device 10 starts its operation, it first passes control to the input analysis means 1 as shown in FIG. 3 (step St). The input analysis means 1 to which control has been passed waits for an instruction from the input device 9, and when an instruction is input, checks and analyzes the input instruction for errors, and passes only correct manual instructions to the execution control means 2. The input instructions include the name of the program to be edited and the addresses of the compile list information storage means 6 and the program information storage means 8.

The execution control means 2 converts the input instruction from the input analysis means 1 into a third

step 318).

Referring again to FIG. 3, when the execution control means 2 receives one line of information from the compile list information reference means 3 in step S5, it proceeds to step S6 to determine whether the information is termination information. ), in the case of termination information, termination processing is performed on the compile list information storage means 6 and the program information storage means 8 (step S8), and the processing is terminated. If the received information is not end information, the receiver passes the information and control to the program information editing means 4 (step S7).

Referring to FIG. 5, when the program information editing means 4 receives one line of compile list information from the execution control means 2 (step 521), it determines whether the information is language information or not (step 522). In the case of language information, the reference table is updated to refer to a table storing the format of compile list information and the format of program information corresponding to the language indicated (step 523), and control is returned to the execution control means 2. If the information is other than language information, the table is referred to to determine whether or not editing has been performed (step 524). Then, if the received information does not require editing, the control is returned to the execution control means 2, and if necessary, the program information is edited with reference to the table (step 525). Write it into the program information storage means 8 (step 5
26), returns control to the execution control means 2;

Referring to FIG. 3, the execution control means 2, to which control has been returned from the program information editing means 4, transfers the control again to step S4, and continues from step 54 to step S4 until the information received from the compile list information reference means 3 is completed. Repeat S7.
