C/C++ Programmer's Guide (G06.27+, H06.08+, J06.03+)

language-specific menus, comment generation, and user customization. HP Extensions for
Codewright:
• Supports four project dictionaries (user, parameter, class, and system). Using templates and
dictionaries, you can simplify source-code creation by supplying only arguments and directing
TEC to build the code.
• Provides language-specific programming support for C, C++, TAL, pTAL, and COBOL.
• Features chromacoding, which allows you to select colors to enhance the visibility of comments,
keywords, strings, numbers, preprocessor commands, and braces. Improves source readability
and helps eliminate typing errors.
• Allows you to select from several ways to view or collapse source files: by function, by
paragraph, by pragma, or by normal view.
• Is available also as a stand-alone product.
Visual Inspect
Visual Inspect is an optional PC-based (GUI) symbolic debugger designed to work in complex
distributed environments. Visual Inspect:
• Supports application debugging in either the development or production environment
• Uses program visualization, direct manipulation, and other techniques to improve productivity
for both new and sophisticated users
• Provides source-level debugging for servers executing in either the NonStop environment;
provides additional application navigation features that allow a higher level of abstraction
• Supports TNS and native machine architectures and compilers (that is, C, C++, COBOL, TAL,
pTAL, D-series Pascal, and FORTRAN), in both the Guardian and OSS environments.
• Is available also as a stand-alone product
For more details about enabling and using Visual Inspect, see the online help for Visual Inspect.
ar Tool (File Archive)
The ar tool, a utility familiar to UNIX users, is integrated into TDS. Use the ar tool to create and
maintain file archives. The ar tool:
• Builds a file archive from TNS/R native object files that can then be used as a statically linked
library by the nld linker on any platform where nld runs
• Is accessed by selecting the Tandem ar command on the Tools menu
• Is documented in online help accompanying TDS
• Can be called as a stand-alone tool from a make file or from a command prompt
The ar tool is also available with ETK, supporting either TNS/R or TNS/E files produced by the
ld or eld linkers.
