Visual Inspect Symbolic Debugger
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 NonStop environment; provides
additional application navigation features that allow a higher level of abstraction
• Supports both CISC and native machine architectures and compilers (that is, C, C++, COBOL,
TAL, EpTAL, pTAL, D-series Pascal, and FORTRAN), Guardian and OSS executing environments
• Is available also as a stand-alone product
For more details about enabling and using Visual Inspect, see the Visual Inspect online help. See
also the descriptions of pragmas INSPECT (page 209) and SYMBOLS (page 249).
TNS/E Native Object File Tool (enoft Utility)
The native object file tool (the enoft utility) reads and displays information about TNS/E native
object files. You can use enoft to:
• Determine the optimization level of procedures
• Display object code with corresponding source code
• List object file attributes
• List unresolved references
enoft runs in the Guardian and OSS environments. The enoft syntax and capabilities are nearly
identical in each environment. For more details, see the enoft Manual.
Native object files are in Executable and Linking Format (ELF), a standard format used for object
files, with HP extensions. For more details on native object files, see the eld Manual.
A native object file is either a linkfile or a loadfile, but not both. The native compilers produce only
linkfiles, while the nld utility can produce either linkfiles or loadfiles.
Linkfiles can be used again as input to eld. Loadfiles can be used as input to eld only for modifying
loadfile attributes. Both linkfiles and loadfiles can be used as enoft input.

NonStop SQL/MP Compiler and NonStop SQL/MX Compiler
The NonStop SQL/MP compiler processes embedded SQL statements from C source programs
and generates the correct NonStop SQL/MP database calls. For more details see the SQL/MP
Programming Manual for C.
The NonStop SQL/MX compiler, available on the OSS platform, processes embedded SQL
statements from TNS/E native C or C++ source programs and generates the correct NonStop
SQL/MX database calls. For more details, see the SQL/MX Programming Manual for C and
COBOL.
