Assembly language programming potential error detection scheme sensing apparent inconsistency with a previous operation

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A computer aided software engineering tool is disclosed which is particularly well adapted to identity potential Assembly language source code errors resulting from the analysis of statements which do not contain incorrect syntax, limits, operand specification, etc.; i.e. do not contain any errors of the type which can be generally categorized as incorrect usage. This objective is achieved by providing a debugging program which has a complete awareness of the specific machine architecture such as the, function of each instruction and the register(s) flags, etc. it affects. By essentially stepping through the Assembly language statements in much the same manner as a computer would while …
