SOURCE CODE CHECKER, SOURCE CODE CHECKING METHOD, PROGRAM FOR CAUSING EXECUTION OF THE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR STORING THE PROGRAM

Disclosure is made of a source code checker and a source code checking method, for checking properties related to program behaviors meant by source code for a computer program; of a program for making execute the method; and of a storage medium for storing the program. This source code checking method includes a path extracting step and a checking information determining step. The path extracting step simulates a program described in source code for a computer program preliminarily input, to extract an instruction series to be actually executed. The checking information determining step determines checking information of the source code according to the instruction series extracted in the path extracting step.
