  • Method for compile-time type-checking of arguments for externally-specified format strings
    Patent number: 6381736
    Abstract: A method for type-checking format arguments during compile time which uses data in an external file. Data from the external file is converted into a generated source file suitable for “inclusion” in a program source file, which is the subject of compilation. The generated source file is compiled together with the program source file and performs, among other things, type-checking of format arguments contained within the program source file and the generated source file.
