Generating and debugging machine program involves linker placing reference table in machine program that points to object data file with symbol information required for debugging

摘要

The method involves generating a program that can be debugged from a higher language program with a compiler generating at least one data file of required symbol information (11a,11b) for debugging from at least one source text and binding the object data file to the machine program using a linker (12) that places a reference table (19) in the machine program (18,19) to point to the object data file with the required symbol information.
