  • Patent number: 10534589
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for specifying user defined or translator definitions to use to interpret mnemonics in a computer program. A mnemonic is processed in the computer program having a user defined definition and a translator definition. The mnemonic is interpreted according to the user defined definition in response to previously processing a mnemonic command specifying the mnemonic and the user defined definition. The mnemonic is interpreted according to the translator definition in response to previously processing a mnemonic command specifying the mnemonic and the translator definition.

  • Patent number: 8177122
    Abstract: Provided are a system and article of manufacture for providing diagnostic information on the processing of variables in source code. Source code is scanned for an instance of a variable. An entry is added to a symbol table for the variable and indication is made in the entry that the variable is declared in response to determining that the symbol table does not include an entry for the variable and that the instance of the variable comprises a declaration of the variable. A message is generated indicating that the variable is referenced and undeclared in response to determining that the instance of the variable comprises a reference of the variable and that the symbol table does not include one entry for the variable.

  • Patent number: 7694286
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting base-register usage conflicts in computer code includes a parsing module configured to parse source code, an identification module configured to identify statements in the source code that reference a base register for address resolution according to base-displacement form, and a determination module configured to determine whether a base register referenced by one statement matches the base register referenced by another. If two statements do reference the same register, an apparatus and method in accordance with the invention may notify a user such that corrective action may be taken.
