Abstract
The invention relates to a method for fine-tuning a software application that is written in a source programming language and is executable on a target platform. According to the invention, such a method includes: a stage of compiling said software application that is written in said source language and supplies the code of an intermediate software application that is written in an intermediate language, said stage comprising a step of inserting, into the code of said intermediate software application, a specific construction for intercepting events by means of complementary instructions, and a step of formatting the intermediate code of said software application such that the matching of a line of source code with a line of intermediate code is the most frequent possible matching; a stage of compiling the code from said intermediate software application into an executable software application; and a stage for fine-tuning said software application, said stage including at least one step of converting at least one piece of fine-tuning information between a program for fine-tuning said intermediate language and a program for fine-tuning said source language.
