Compiler Annotation Processor for Early Error Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the development of event control infrastructure for telecommunications carriers, existing tools lack efficiency in detecting faults in source files during the compilation process, leading to overlooked corrections and reworking, especially when partial changes in business processes alter prerequisites.
Innovation Solution
A compiling method that validates input/output information and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) information defined in interface files, inhibiting the generation of executable binary files if validation results are invalid, and automatically generating the binary file when results are valid, thereby detecting errors early.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If validation of input/output information and CRUD information is performed during compilation, then error detection capability is improved, but compilation time and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing validation of input/output information and CRUD information during the compilation phase itself, rather than waiting for later testing stages. The annotation processor validates prerequisites (such as data existence and table record requirements) before code generation, thereby detecting errors early in the development cycle. This early detection mechanism prevents costly rework in integration testing and system testing phases.
2Productivity
If validation of prerequisites is performed early during compilation, then development efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the compilation process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of an annotation processor that acts as a mediator between the source code and the compilation process. This processor automatically validates input/output information and CRUD information, and generates necessary tables and data structures based on validated annotations. By automating this intermediary validation process, the system maintains high development efficiency while managing compilation complexity through structured, rule-based validation logic.
3Manufacturing precision
If all business processes using a common process are registered for checking, then specification accuracy is improved, but the time required for verification increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the compilation system to automatically verify specifications and generate necessary data structures without requiring manual intervention for each business process. The annotation processor self-validates prerequisites, automatically checks specification consistency across all business processes using a common process, and generates required tables and data structures autonomously. This automation maintains high specification accuracy while significantly reducing the manual verification time that would otherwise be required.
Data Source
AI summary
A compiling method for reading, by a computer comprising a processor and a memory, a source file therein and outputting an executable binary file, the compiling method including: a first step of receiving, by the computer, an interface file including a process and a module constructing a business process, input/output information of data of the business process being defined in the interface file, operation information for data set to be used in the business process being defined in the interface file; a second step of validating, by the computer, the operation information for the data set defined in the interface file; a third step of inhibiting, by the computer, generation of the executable binary file when a validation result is invalid; and a fourth step of generating, by the computer, the executable binary file from a source file containing the interface file when the validation result is valid.
