Abstract

In an identical function definition generation determining step of a template compilation method, dependency between a function definition code and a template parameter is analyzed, and when there is no dependency, a common function is defined and a plurality of function definitions obtained before defining the common function are deleted in a function definition sharing step. Thereafter, a function call obtained before defining the common function is replaced with a call of the common function in a function call replacing step. Accordingly, among a plurality of function definition codes generated from a template, function definition codes generated as the identical code are shared, so as to reduce the code size that generally increases due to template facilities.

Dependent claims

A template compilation method for converting an input program described with a high-level language with template facilities into object codes, comprising:

an identical function definition generation determining step of determining whether or not identical function definitions are generated, as definitions of a plurality of functions included in said input program, from a template by using different template parameters;
a function definition sharing step, performed when it is determined that the identical function definitions are generated in the identical function definition generation determining step, of replacing said definitions of said plurality of functions generated as the identical function definitions with one common function definition;
and
a function call replacing step, performed when said common function definition is replaced in the function definition sharing step, of replacing calls of said plurality of functions obtained before replacing said common function definition with a call of said common function definition.
