Notation enhancement system, compiler and method

摘要

A notation enhancement system and method are disclosed. The system comprises a parsing unit, a reasoning unit and a data repository. The data repository is arranged to store data on at least components of notations of a first notation type and a second notation type and linking said components of the first notation type to a corresponding notation of the second notation type. The parsing unit is arranged to parse computer program source code to identify notations of the first type in said source code. The reasoning unit is arranged to communicate with the parsing unit and the data repository and is responsive upon identification of a notation of the first type by the parsing unit to construct a notation of the second type from one or more of said components in the data repository and insert said constructed notation in the computer program source code, the constructed notation corresponding to the identified notation of the first type.
