Claim:
An object code generating system comprising: a storage unit configured to store a first source file; and an object code generating section, comprising a processor, configured to: read said first source file from said storage unit, generate function data to store in said storage unit, said function data indicating an arrangement address and size of each of functions in said first source file, and generate an execution format file for said first source file to store in said storage unit; and read a second source file obtained by modifying at least one of said functions as a specific function in said first source file, and said function data from said storage unit, generate a dummy function corresponding to said modified specific function when said modified specific function having a size larger than a maximum size of the sizes of said functions in said function data is discovered in said second source file, arrange said dummy function at an arrangement address different from the arrangement addresses of said functions, arrange a branch command to said dummy function at the different arrangement address, wherein said object code generating section checks whether or not a predetermined option has been specified for said modified specific function, and divide said modified specific function to generate said dummy function, when said predetermined option is specified for said modified specific function.
