Abstract

The often changing needs of users will certainly lead to many modifications of code. Due to lack of CASE tool on Linux platform, it is difficult to maintain and modify Linux application code. After analyzing current CASE tools, on basis of several technologies such as lexical analysis, visual development and persistent object, we design LACM (Linux Application Code Maintenance Tool): a lightweight application code maintenance tool based on Linux driven by database with functions of code recognition, document management and code modification, to adapt to the changing needs of users. We implement parts of functions of LACM in this paper by using Delphi for Linux.
