ABSTRACT:
A development system having a language compiler generating application and system software from source listings. The system includes an Integrated Development Environment having a browser. Inspection of symbols (e.g., classes, objects, methods, variables, and the like) may be done dynamically, i.e. while retaining active scope of the symbol. More particularly, the browser of the system directly references symbol information stored in object code or executable modules, which are generated during compilation of the source listings. In this manner, the system provides symbol information directly relevant to the context (location in the source listing) that the user/programmer is currently working. In addition, a user/programmer may use a filter interface resembling a DIP (dual-inline package) switch for managing complex and voluminous information.
