Abstract

In order to minimize the time taken to compile a source code program into a machine-readable target object program in a network environment when the processor is also further developed at the same time as the program is being created, a method is proposed in which the compiler program continuously scans an input interface of the server (10) for a source code program newly written thereto, and a client program is started on a client (20-50), wherein the running of said program causes a source code program that is to be compiled to be written to the input interface of the server and causes an output interface of the server to be continuously scanned for a target object program newly written thereto. In response to the detection of a source code program newly written to the input interface of the server, the source code program is read and compiled into a target object program, which is subsequently written to the output interface of the server. In response to the detection of the target object program written to the output interface of the server, said target object program is read and stored on the client.

Dependent claims

A method of compiling a source code program into a machine-readable target object program in a network environment comprising at least one server and a number of user-operable clients data-connected to said server, characterized by the steps:

starting a compiler program on the server (10), the running of which program causes an input interface of the server to be continuously scanned for a source code program newly written thereto;
starting a client program on a client (20-50), the running of which program causes a source code program that is to be compiled to be written to the input interface of the server and causes an output interface of the server to be continuously scanned for a target object program newly written thereto;
reading the source code program and compiling it into a target object program in the server in response to the detection of the source code program newly written to the input interface of the server;
writing the target object program to the output interface of the server (10);
reading from the output interface of the server and storing the target object program on the client in response to the detection of the target object program newly written to the output interface of the server.
