Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data processing device that creates and operates an executable file in machine language from a source program text file.

[Conventional technology]

In general, messages such as guidance and warnings displayed to the operator when running the developed source program/text file on the data processing device described above are as follows:
The language that the operator of the device is comfortable with (Japanese)
If it is displayed, operability will be improved.

Traditionally, to display a message in a desired language,
Develop a source program text file containing messages in the desired language.

Alternatively, write only a label indicating the message number at the position where the message is displayed in the source program/text file, and create a program with a structure in which the message corresponding to that label is stored in a separate file. At the same time, message files in the desired language are compiled and linked together to create an executable file in which the desired language is displayed.

For example, the text file of the source program shown in Figure 8 (a program that outputs message 1 when a certain condition becomes true, and then displays message 2 unconditionally) and its labels rmsglJ and rmsg2J correspond to If the files shown in Figure 9 containing the Japanese messages are compiled together, an executable file that displays the Japanese messages "Notification 1" and "Notification 2" will be created, and the English message shown in Figure 10 will be created. If you compile it together with the stored file, you can create an English message rmess.
Executable files displaying ``Agel'' and ``Rmessage2'' are created, and when each is executed, a message in Japanese or English is displayed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, if a different source program/text file is created for each language in which messages are to be displayed, as in the former case, there is a problem in that it takes a lot of time and effort to develop a multilingual program.

In addition, if you use a file containing labels and corresponding messages as in the latter case, you will have to remember the contents of the messages for each label used during the development of the source program. As shown in the figure, the content of the message may be complex and long.

When the number of messages increases, it becomes difficult for developers to understand them, resulting in an increased workload.

This invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to easily change the language of messages displayed when a source program is compiled and executed on a data processing device, without increasing the burden on the development of the source program. The purpose is to make it possible to change to

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, as shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. In a data processing device equipped with a compiling means C that creates a format file B on a storage device, language conversion is performed in which a plurality of messages with the same meaning but in different languages are stored for each message in a source program text file A. language specifying means E for specifying the language of the message; message discriminating means F for discriminating messages from the source program text file A; and language conversion for each message discriminated by the means F. table data file D
and a message converting means G for converting the message into a message in the language specified by the language specifying means E, respectively, using the above, and the compiling means C creates an executable file B having the message in the specified language. It is something.

[For production]

In the data processing device according to the present invention, when the language specifying means E specifies the language of the message, the message determining means F determines messages such as guidance and warnings in the source program/text file A, and the message converting means G converts each message into Compiling means C converts the identified message into a message in the specified language using a language conversion table data file D storing a plurality of messages with the same meaning but in different languages.
An executable file B converted into a message in the language specified by is created on the storage device.

Therefore, there is no need to create a source program/text file for each language or to associate the relationship between each label and the message to be displayed when creating the source program/text file.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on FIG. 2 and subsequent figures.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a data processing device according to the present invention.

This data processing device includes an input device 1. Input control section 2. Main control unit 3. Storage device 4. Message discriminator 5. Message conversion table control unit 6. Message search section 7. It consists of a compiler 82, a display control section 9°, and a display device 10.

The input field W1 is a keyboard, a mouse, or the like, and is responsible for specifying the language of the message to be displayed in the message conversion function instruction 9.

The input control section 2 sends various instructions input through the input device 1 to the main control section 3.

Each part such as the main control unit 3 is realized by a microcomputer consisting of a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc.
is in charge of controlling the entire data processing device, and also converts the source program text file and language conversion table data file (also referred to as language conversion database file) from the storage device 4 according to instructions for converting messages sent from the input control unit 2. ) and send the former to the message discrimination section 5 and the latter to the message conversion table control section 6, the message sent from the message discrimination section 5 to the message conversion table control section 6,
Processing for sending data other than messages to the compiler 8, processing for sending messages sent from the message conversion table control unit 6 to the compiler 8, and storing executable format files in machine language sent from the compiler 8 to perform various processing. It performs processing such as executing the processing and sending display data for the processing to the display control unit 9.

The storage device 4 is a hard disk device, a floppy disk device, or the like, and stores source program text files and language conversion table data files.

The message discriminating section 5 discriminates between messages and data other than messages in the source program text file sent from the main control section 3 and sends them to the main control section 3.

The message conversion table control unit 6 performs processing to sequentially send each message in the language conversion table data file together with the message in the database text file sent from the main control unit 3 to the message search unit 7 in the same language, and message search. Messages determined to be the same in section 7 are converted into a designated language and sent to main control section 3.

The message search section 7 determines whether the messages sent from the message conversion table control section 6 are the same, and sends the result to the message conversion table control section 6.

The compiler 8 compiles the message sent from the main control section 3 and data other than the message, and sends it to the main control section 3. Note that compiling is a process of analyzing a source program text file written in a programming language using a certain syntax analysis rule and converting it into a machine code string that can be executed by a target CPU.

The display control section 9 sends the display data sent from the main control section 3 to the display device 10 and also controls the same.

The display device 10 is a CRT, LCD, etc., and displays a work screen when instructing to convert the language of a message in a source program or text file, a work screen for a function that is compiled and executed after converting the message language, etc. Display.

That is, the input device 1 in FIG. Message conversion table control section 6 and message search section 7. The compiler 8 corresponds to the language specifying means E, message converting means G, and compiling means C in FIG. 1, respectively.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of data contents stored in the language conversion database file.

In this file, the first code is the storage area for the number of supported languages (Japanese) (N), the next code and N records are the storage area for the number of messages (M) and the area for the list of supported languages (Japanese), and the rest is the message storage area. I know.

In the supported language list area, for example Japanese.

The language name of the message is stored, such as English, Chinese, etc.

The message storage area is further divided into areas for each message called message entries, and the first message entry displays data for each supported language when there is no corresponding message. Then "NOMESSAGEJ..."
For example, in the second message entry, the message "Notification IJ, rmessagelJ, -" is stored as follows.
Memorize each as follows.

Next, the processing of the main control section 3 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Step 1 reads the source program text file from the storage device 4 and sends it to the message discriminator 5, and step 2 reads the language conversion table data file from the storage device 4 and sends it to the message conversion table control section 6.

Step 3 receives from the input control section 2 the language of the message of the source program/text file and the designation of the language to be converted, and step 4 sends the instruction to the message conversion table control section 6.

In step 5, the receiver receives the judgment result from the message conversion table control unit 6 as to whether or not the language of the message specified in the language conversion table data file is stored. move on.

Step 6 receives and receives the message of the source program text file and data other than the message that are determined and sent by the message discriminator 5, and in step 7 the data is determined as the end of the source program text file indicating the end of the data. Data (E, ○, D,
), the process ends; if NO, proceed to step 8.

In step 8, if the data is a message, the process proceeds to step 9, and if the data is other than a message, the process proceeds to step 10.

Step 9 sends the message data to the message conversion table control section 6, and receives the message whose language has been converted from the message conversion table control section 6. Step 10 receives the message in step 8 or 9. The data other than the captured message and the message whose language has been converted are sent to the compiler 8, and the process returns to step 6.

Then, in step 7, if the end of data or step 11 indicates an error display indicating that the specified language is not registered, all processing ends.

Next, the processing of the message discriminator 5 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Step 20 receives and receives a source program/text file from the main control unit 3, and step 21 starts determining data in order from the beginning of the source program/text file.

If the data determined in step 22 is the end of data, proceed to step 26, otherwise proceed to step 23, and if the data is a message, proceed to step 24, and if the data is other than a message, proceed to step 25.
Proceed to.

In step 24, the message is sent to the main control unit 3 together with the determination result, or in step 25, data other than the message is sent as normal data to the main control unit 3 together with the determination result, and then the process returns to step 21.

Then, in step 26, an end-of-data instruction is sent to the main control unit 3, and all processing ends.

Next, the processing of the message conversion table control section 6 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Step 3o receives the table data file for language conversion from the main control unit 3, and step 31 reads the number of supported languages N, the number of messages registered in this file M, and the supported languages from the header part of the table data file for language conversion. Read out.

After receiving the message language of the source program/text file and the specified language to be converted from the main control unit 3 in step 32, in step 33 it is determined whether the specified language is registered in the language conversion table data file. If it is registered, the process goes to step 34, and if it is not registered, the process goes to step 40.

Step 34 receives and receives messages from the main control unit 3;
In step 35, the message in the specified language is read in order from the first message entry of the language conversion table data file, and in step 34, the receiver sends the received message to the message search unit 7, and in step 36, the language conversion table data is read out. It is determined whether the data in the file has ended or not, and if the data has ended, the process proceeds to step 39, but if No, the process proceeds to step 37.

In step 37, it is determined whether the message in the source program text file and the message data read from the language conversion table data file are the same. If they are the same, the process proceeds to step 38; if they are different, the process returns to step 35 and the next message is sent. Examine the entry.

In step 38, the converted message data is sent to the main control section 3, or in step 39, data indicating that the same message as the specified message is absent is sent to the main control section 3, and all processing ends.

Further, in step 40, when error notification data indicating that the designated language is not registered is sent to the main control unit 3, all processing ends.

In this way, for example, after developing a source program text file that displays the Japanese messages "Notification 1" and "Notification 2" as shown in Figure 7, if you instruct the function to convert the message language mentioned above. , first, data other than the message 5ubroutin() (if true hen print('') is sent to the compiler 8 via the main control unit 3.

Next, "Notice 1", which has been determined as a message by the message discriminating section 5, is sent to the message conversion table control section 6 and the message search section 7, and the "Notice 1" is extracted from the language conversion table data file shown in FIG. ” is stored.

Then, since it is stored in the second message entry, the English message rmessage in the specified language will be displayed.
AgelJ is sent to the main control unit 3.

Similarly, the normal data °); and print ('' and ゛); and) are sent to the compiler 8 as they are, and the Japanese message ``Notification 2'' is converted into the English message ``rmessage2'' and sent to the compiler 8.

The message is then converted into machine language by the compiler 8 and sent back to the main control unit 3 as an executable file of the English message.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the data processing device according to the present invention can automatically convert the language of the message of the developed source program/text file into the specified language.
It is no longer necessary to create a text file or to associate the correspondence between each label and the message to be displayed when developing a source program, and the language of the message displayed during use can be easily changed without increasing the burden on the developer. can.

Therefore, source program developers can create messages for display in their preferred language, improving development efficiency and easily providing data processing devices suitable for export or use in multi-ethnic countries. can.
