| Summary: | The present invention relates to the field of computer programming. More specifically the invention relates to a method and a data processing system for editing the source code of a computer program. It is an object of the present invention to provide an easy source code editing technique, by which programming errors and type errors can reliably be avoided in cases where changes to the program are supposed not to change the semantics of the program. This object is achieved according to the invention by a method for editing source code, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a modification to the source code, said modification being made by a user, determining whether the modification would change the semantics of the source code, and handling the modification depending on the result of the determining step. |
