Design for Software Tools in System Programming

Design for Software Tools :-
 
• Program pre-processing techniques are used to support static
analysis   of  programs.   Program   instrumentation   implies
insertion  of  statements  in  a  program.  The  instrumented
program is translated using a standard translator.

• Figure below shows the schematic of software tools using the
techniques of interpretation and program generation.

•  Interpreter based tools suffer from poor efficiency and poor
portability, since an interpreter base tool is only as portable as
the interpreter it uses. A generate program is more efficient
and can be made portable.
