Abstract

A device supporting the structural analysis of a module comprises: a storage means storing at least one module; and a conversion means that converts a prescribed target module among the modules stored by the storage means to a secondary module and stores same in the storage means. The conversion means reads the target module from the storage means and sequentially outputs to the secondary module each sentence written from a prescribed processing start location in the target module to a prescribed processing end location. The conversion means also recursively develops a sentence written in processing units etc., for execution, and outputs same to the secondary module, when the sentence is a module internal processing unit or a sentence that executes another module.

Dependent claims

the module is identifiable by a module name, the module being able to include one or more processing sections described therein, the processing section including one or more of the sentences, the processing section being identifiable by a processing section name;
the module is able to include a processing-section perform statement, a module call statement and a conditional statement described therein as the sentence, the processing-section perform statement being the sentence that identifies and performs the processing-section by using the processing section name, the module call statement being the sentence that identifies and performs the module by using the module name, the conditional statement being the sentence that selects the sentence to be executed by determining whether a conditional expression is satisfied or not, the conditional statement being able to include the other conditional statement described therein as the sentence to be selected by the conditional statement so that the sentences being formable hierarchies by using the conditional statements;
the device comprises a storage means and a conversion means;
the storage means stores one or more of the modules;
the conversion means is to convert a predetermined target module of the modules stored in the storage means into the secondary module to store the secondary module in the storage means, the conversion means having a read function, a conversion function and a write function;
the read function is a function to read the target module from the storage means;
the conversion function is a function that sequentially outputs each of the sentences described between a predetermined process start location and a predetermined process end location of the target module into the secondary module as the secondary sentence, and that generates one or more of the secondary sentences from an expansion and outputs the generated secondary sentences into the secondary module when the sentence to be output into the secondary module is the processing-section perform statement or the module call statement, the expansion being the sentences described in the processing section to be performed or in the module to be called, the expansion being further provided about the processing-section perform statement or the module call statement in the sentences of the expansion;
and
the write function is a function to store the secondary module into the storage means.
