ABSTRACT:
A first improved method is disclosed for constructing a parse tree. The parse tree includes parse tree node records including a child pointer field, a sibling pointer field and an end position field. The improvement comprises storing information in the end position field. The information being selected from the group of an end position value and a parent node address. A second improved method is disclosed for identifying a source code segment associated with a first parse tree node record. The improvement comprises the step of determining the start position of the source code segment based on a variant field of the first node record and a variant field of a second node record. The improvement further comprises the step of determining the end position of the source code segment based on the variant field of the first node record.
