Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the double registration of a patch number by providing a function which reads in a patch assembler language file for the purpose of partially correcting a program, a project name retrieving function, and a patch machine language output function. CONSTITUTION:A patching worker reads-in a patch assembler language file 2 for the purpose of partially correcting the program by patching. Project names described in the patch assembler language file 2 are retrieved in a patch number management file 3 for the purpose of deciding whether the patching object is a new project or not, and the result is held. When it is a new project, the patch number is registered in a patch number recording area, and the contents of the patch are rewritten with a machine language and are outputted as a patch machine language file 4.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic patch numbering method, and in particular to an automatic patch numbering system that automatically searches for and assigns a registration number for a newly created patch and performs registration processing. Numbering method [Conventional technology] The conventional patch numbering method is not automatic; it is a manual process in which each patch creator searches a patch ledger on a desk, assigns numbers, and registers them. It was carried out by

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional patch numbering method described above is a manual process in which each patch creator searches, assigns, and registers a patch ledger on their desk, which places a burden on the patch creator. In addition, if the patch creator forgets to register, there is a problem that the patch number may be used twice and subsequent patch management may not be performed correctly. .

The purpose of the present invention is to create a patch by reading a patch assembler language file, searching the patch number management file for each project name, and assigning and registering a new number after the latest registered patch number. To provide an automatic patch number numbering system capable of preventing duplicate use of patch numbers without placing a burden on a person.

[Means to solve the problem]

The patch number automatic numbering system of the present invention has a file reading function that reads a patch assembler language file created to partially modify a program using a patch, and a file reading function that reads a patch assembly language file created to partially modify a program using a patch, and a function that manages patch numbers assigned to each patch. A search function that searches the provided patch number management file using the project name described in the patch assembler language file as an index, and a search function that searches with the search function to find the next patch number registered with the project name. a registration write function that assigns a new number and registers it in the patch number management file; and a patch machine language file that rewrites the contents of the patch with the newly assigned patch number into machine language according to the contents of the patch assembler language file. This configuration also includes a patch machine language file output function to output as a patch machine language file.

The registration write function searches the patch number management file using the search function, and if a patch number is not detected in the indexed project name, the indexed project name and the first patch number to be assigned are newly updated. It may also include a new project numbering function to be registered in the patch number management file.

In order to modify the patch assembler language file created earlier using the file reading function, a newly created patch assembler language file containing the name of the relevant project and the patch number of the patch to be modified is loaded, and the search is performed as described above. The function searches the patch number management file using the applicable project name and the patch number of the patch to be modified as an index, and if the applicable patch number is detected and the applicable patch can be modified, the patch machine Using the language file output function, rewrite the contents of the patch with the corresponding patch number into machine language and output it as a patch machine language file according to the contents of the patch assembler language file that describes the corresponding project name and the patch number of the patch to be modified. You may.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The patch assembler processing program 1 has a file reading function that reads a patch assembler language file 2 created by a patch creator in order to partially modify a program using a patch, and manages patch numbers assigned to each created patch. A search function that searches the patch number management file 3 provided for this purpose using the project name described in the patch assembler language file 2 as an index, and the latest patch number registered with the project name searched with this search function. A registration write function that assigns a new number next to and registers it in the patch number management file 3, and converts the content of the patch with the newly assigned Bas/Sochi number into machine language according to the contents of the patch assembler language file 2. It also has a patch machine language file output function that outputs a rewritten patch machine language file 4.

Next, the operation will be explained.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the patch assembler processing program.

In order to partially modify a program using a patch, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 11, the patch creator reads the created patch assembler language file 2 and uses the 0-order Si2
In order to determine whether this patch is for the new 10 projects, search the patch number management file 3 using the project name described in the patch assembler language file 2 as an index, and retain the read result. put.

As a result of this search, if the input project name cannot be detected, it is determined that it is a new project and S1
3. Create a new project name in the patch number management file 3.
In step S14, it is determined whether the patch number is written in the patch assembler language file 2. Naturally, if it is a new project, there is no description of the patch number, so in S15 the first patch number is assigned and this patch number is registered in the patch number storage area of the newly registered project name in the patch assembler language file 2. . Thereafter, in S16, the content of the patch with the newly assigned patch number is rewritten into machine language according to the content of patch assembler language file 2, and in S17, it is output as patch machine language file 4.

If it is determined in Si2 that this patch is not for a new project, the program immediately jumps to S14 and determines whether a patch number is written in the patch assembler language file 2. If the result of this judgment is that there is no description of the patch number, it is a new patch, so in S15, the latest patch number is found from the data registered with the corresponding project name and previously read and held in S12. The next number is newly assigned and registered in the patch number management file 3.

Thereafter, in the same manner as described above, the contents of the patch with the newly assigned patch number are rewritten into machine language in step 316, and output as patch machine language file 4 in step S17.

If the determination result in S14 is that there is a description of the patch number, it is determined that this is a modification of a patch that has been numbered and registered first, and therefore, in S18, it is determined that the modification is a modification of a patch that has been registered on a display device (not shown). It displays that there is a modification, asks whether it is possible to execute this modification, and if it is not executed, ends the process, and if it is possible to execute it, it is approved at 316 to execute the modification according to the contents of the patch assembler language file 2, as described above. The content of the patch corresponding to the patch number is rewritten into machine language and output as a patch machine language file 4 in S17.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, when a patch assembler language file is read, a patch number management file is searched for each project name, and a new number next to the latest registered patch number is assigned and registered. This has the effect of preventing duplicate use of patch numbers without placing a burden on the patch creator.
