Abstract

Claims (30)

1. A method of developing a program by assigning an extended language specification with respect to variables and functions included in the program, the method comprising:

gathering, by a computer, first assignment candidate information indicating an assignment of the extended language specification in the program, second assignment candidate information indicating an assignment of the extended language specification in a project including a plurality of programs, and third assignment candidate information indicating an assignment of the extended language specification in an optional setting of a compiler;

storing, by the computer, a list of assigned states of the extended language specification with respect to one or more variables and one or more functions of the programs by analyzing the first assignment candidate information, the second assignment candidate information, and the third assignment candidate information, by assigning a state of the extended language specification to the one or more variables and one or more functions when the one or more variables or functions are contained in a program indicated in the first, second or third assignment candidate information wherein the third assignment candidate information indicates that all variables or functions in all programs or projects to be compiled are assigned the state indicated by the optional setting of the compiler;

determining, by the computer, a final assignment of the extended language specification, so that the assignments of the extended language specification do not overlap with each other with respect to the variables and the functions, based on the list of the assigned states and information related to priorities of assignments with respect to the functions and assignments with respect to the variables;

assigning, by the computer, the extended language specification with respect to the functions or the variables, based on the assigned state final assignment determined by the determining; and

creating, by the computer, the programs, by parsing and compiling the functions and the variables to which the extended language specification is assigned according to the assigned extended language specification.

2. The extended language specification assigning method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the determining carries out a program structure analysis and an extended language analysis,

the program structure analysis includes a function analysis, a variable analysis, and a project analysis, and a result of the program structure analysis is stored as a list of functions, variables, and source programs, and

the extended language analysis includes a syntax analysis and an option analysis, and a result of the extended language analysis is stored as a list of final assignments and candidate assignments.

3. The extended language specification assigning method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the determining adds setting conditions selected from one of language specification conditions, candidate portions, functions, variables, and source programs, to the list of assigned states.

4. The program developing method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the list of assigned states includes variable names, functions, variables commands, and warnings.

5. The program developing method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the warning includes overlap information indicating overlapping assignments of the extended language specification.

6. The program developing method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring, by the computer, a performance of the program by executing the program,

wherein the determining changes the functions or the variables to which the extended language specification is assigned in order for a measured result of the measuring to indicate a performance greater than or equal to a tolerable performance.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a computer program for causing a computer to execute a process of assigning an extended language specification with respect to variables and functions included in a program, the process comprising:

gathering first assignment candidate information indicating an assignment of the extended language specification in the program, second assignment candidate information indicating an assignment of the extended language specification in a project including a plurality of programs, and third assignment candidate information indicating an assignment of the extended language specification in an optional setting of a compiler;

storing a list of assigned states of the extended language specification with respect to one or more variables and one or more functions of the program by analyzing the first assignment candidate information, the second assignment candidate information, and the third assignment candidate information by assigning a state of the extended language specification to the one or more variables and one or more functions when the one or more variables or functions are contained in a program indicated in the first, second or third assignment candidate information wherein the third assignment candidate information indicates that all variables or function in all programs or projects to be compiled are assigned the state indicated by the optional setting of the compiler;

determining a final assignment of the extended language specification so that the assignments of the extended language specification do not overlap with each other with respect to the variables and the functions, based on the list of the assigned states and information related to priorities of assignments with respect to the functions and assignments with respect to the variables;

assigning the extended language specification with respect to the functions or the variables, based on the final assignment determined by the determining; and

creating by the computer, the programs by parsing and compiling the functions and the variables to which the extended language specification is assigned according to the assigned extended language specification.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the determining carries out a program structure analysis and an extended language analysis,

the program structure analysis includes a function analysis, a variable analysis, and a project analysis, and a result of the program structure analysis is stored as a list of functions, variables, and source programs, and

the extended language analysis includes a syntax analysis and an option analysis, and a result of the extended language analysis is stored as a list of final assignments and candidate assignments.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the determining adds setting conditions selected from one of language specification conditions, candidate portions, functions, variables, and source programs, to the list of assigned states.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the list of assigned states includes variable names, functions, variables commands, and warnings.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the warning includes overlap information indicating overlapping assignments of the extended language specification.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the process further comprises:

measuring a performance of the program by executing the program, wherein the determining changes the functions or the variables to which the extended language specification is assigned in order for a measured result of the measuring to indicate a performance greater than or equal to a tolerable performance.
