Abstract
A data-driven type information processor includes a ifinction processor manipulating contents in a data packet, a program storage unit storing a data flow program used by the function processor, and a branch unit controlling data flow whether to allow flow of a data packet within the processor or to provide the data packet to the outside thereof When a program is debugged, the portion of the program where a data packet is to be dumped (and checked) is directly designated by writing an instruction in a program that is stored in advance in the program storage unit. When the instruction code is encountered, the packet is dumped to the outside so that debugging of the program can be carried out by confirming the contents in the data packet that is output.
