Appeal No. 97-2466 Page 3
Application No. 08/461,943
18. A digital computer implemented method for
converting a source program to an object code
comprising the steps of:
receiving the source program;
generating a first intermediate representation
of the source program;
identifying from either compiler directive or
syntax at a selected point in said first
intermediate representation of the source program a
possible asynchronous activity;
inserting a pseudo operation responsive to
identifying said possible asynchronous activity for
a selected variable at said selected point in said
first intermediate representation of the source
program;
processing sequential operations of said first
intermediate representation including said pseudo
operation and defining an internal data structure of
the source program;
processing said defined internal data structure
and generating an optimizer data structure.
