Abstract
A method, system, architecture and apparatus for managing program function parameters using compiler directives. A parameter management system can include a compiler coupled to a primary symbol-type dictionary and a supplemental symbol-type dictionary containing parameter data for specific function calls of corresponding generic type functions. Notably, directive processing logic can be configured both to populate the supplemental symbol-type dictionary based upon processor directives embedded in source code, and also to substitute specific function calls for generic function calls in the source code as specified in the supplemental symbol-type dictionary.
