Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of constructing a new program by weaving codes of various programs. The present invention comprises two ideas described below. First, there is provided a method by which one program inserts a new code fragment into the code of the other program or substitutes a new code fragment for an existing code fragment of the other program. Second, there is provided a method capable of ordering the sequence of code fragments which will be inserted and displayed when a plurality of programs are to insert their code fragments into the same location of a program. The present invention has the following advantages. First, in a case where one program is to insert a code fragment into the other program or substitute a code fragment for an existing code fragment in the other program, the location where the code fragment is inserted or substituted can be arbitrarily determined. Second, two programs can be weaved without modifying a source code of a program to be inserted or substituted. Accordingly, the structure and readability of the program can be maintained as they are, and the troubles imposed on programmers due to code modification can also be reduced. Third, the present invention can have a wide application area because it has been implemented without taking a specific programming language into consideration.
