ABSTRACT:
An object-oriented method and apparatus for relating objects in a compiler program running on a computer for compiling source files into a binary code file for execution on a target computer to source code locations, said apparatus includes a type of object that identifies a source location, and where inlining occurs, a list of inlined source locations. The type of object has only one instance variable, an integer. The invention includes a method for relating objects in a compiler to source code locations. The method includes the steps of registering source files and their ranges of line numbers for a source type; for each language element parsed by the compiler, creating a source object for its source location; and, creating an instance variable of type source for each compiler object in order to relate to their source locations.
