Abstract

To appropriately find an omission of implementation of a shared variable defined between different programs and an error of a shared variable name before a program is executed. A development support device (50) for developing a plurality of different programming languages that are executed in a control device (10) includes: a shared variable reference (TBL1) which is a pre-created shared variable reference and is referred to in source codes of the plurality of different programming languages, and used for a shared variable that shares a memory; an input unit (71) configured to input the source codes of the plurality of different programming languages; and a determination unit (73d) configured to determine whether the shared variable is referred to in the input source codes of the plurality of different programming languages based on the shared variable reference (TBL1).

Claims5

Dependent claims

A development support device for developing a plurality of different programming languages that are executed in a control device, the development support device comprising:

a processor;
a memory comprising instructions to be executed by the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
input source code of one programming language and source code of another programming language, and input a shared variable reference comprising a plurality of variables from the source code of one programming language and the source code of the other programming language, wherein the shared variable reference is pre-created at the time the plurality of variables from the source code of the one programming language and the source code of the other programming language were defined;
perform a check variable process to determine whether a shared variable inputted matches a variable from the source code of the one programming language and a variable from the source code of the other programming language according to the plurality of variables in the shared variable reference;
and
output a message based on the check variable process, wherein the processor is configured to output the message based on the check variable process comprising:
the processor is configured to output a message indicating that a compilation is successful when the shared variable matches the variable from the source code of the one programming language and the shared variable matches the variable from the source code of the other programming language, and output a message indicating that the compilation has failed when the share variable does not match the variable from the source code of the one programming language or the variable from the source code of the other programming language.
