description

This article presents the main features of a novel construction, symbolic analysis, for automatic source code processing. The method is superior to the known methods, because it uses a semiotic, interpretative approach. Its most important processes and characteristics are considered here. We describe symbolic information retrieval and the process of analysis in which it can be used in order to obtain pragmatic information. This, in turn, is useful in understanding a current Java program version when developing a new version.
