Multi language software code analysis

摘要

The invention concerns the analysis of software code that includes code that is written in multiple languages. In particular the invention concerns, but is not limited to, static analysis on source code of an embedded system that has source code that is written in a low-level language embedded within a high level language. The invention provides transforming 60 the embedded low level language source code to a common high level representation that the static analysis can be performed on. This transformation may only retain sufficient semantic meaning to cater for the static analysis, but now more, allowing the transformation to be made. Aspects of the invention include a method, a computer system and software.
