摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a virtual machine capable of easily specifying and determining a compile range in an optional range including the minimum program unit when realizing the virtual machine executing an object-oriented program on a system having little memory capacity such as an embedded system.;SOLUTION: The region (array) for a decision list of the entry size of a specified list is secured, the specified list is read one by one in sequence, and expression and a flag are set from the top of the decision list (701-704). The flag is set to TRUE when the character of the specified list is '+' and to FALSE when the character is '-'. The array is sorted by the expression (character string), and the index for the entry to the expression of the upper hierarchy is set for each entry (705-712).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
