Abstract:
1. A parameter management method comprising the steps of: detecting a compiler directive disposed in source code; extracting a generic function name, a specific function name and one or more parameter data types from said compiler directive; populating a supplemental symbol-type dictionary with said one or more parameter data types extracted from said compiler directive, wherein each of said one or more parameter data types in said supplemental symbol-type dictionary are associated with a specific function call of a corresponding generic type function based upon said compiler directive disposed in said source code; locating in said source code a generic function call having said generic function name; substituting in said source code said specific function call having said specific function name for said generic function call by matching a parameter data type provided in said generic function call with a parameter data type populated in said supplemental symbol-type dictionary associated with said specific function call; and compiling said source code.
