ABSTRACT:
A software conversion tool that facilitates automated conversion of a software program from one operating environment to another. More particularly, a computer program is compiled using a compiler for a software environment other than a software environment assumed by the computer program. As a result, the compiler produces an error message, and, in response to the error message, source code within the computer program is automatically modified in order to remove a condition causing the error. The software conversion tool acts in concert with the compiler, which may be a standard compiler, to form in effect an error-correcting compiler, i.e., a compiler that instead of only detecting errors and presenting them to the user, is able to actually correct errors such that they do not occur during recompilation.
