TNS/R native compiler
TNS/R native compiler. A compiler in the TNS/R development environment that generates
TNS/R native object code, following the TNS/R native-mode conventions for memory,
stack, 32-bit registers, and call linkage. The TNS/R native C compiler is an example of
such a compiler. Contrast with TNS/E native compiler.
TNS/R native mode. The primary execution environment on a TNS/R system, in which
native-compiled MIPS object code executes, following TNS/R native-mode compiler
conventions for data locations, addressing, stack frames, registers, and call linkage.
See also TNS/E native mode.
TNS/R native object code. The MIPS RISC instructions that result from processing
program source code with a TNS/R native compiler. TNS/R native object code
executes only on TNS/R systems, not on TNS systems or TNS/E systems.
TNS/R native object file. An object file created by a TNS/R native compiler that contains
MIPS RISC instructions and other information needed to construct the code spaces
and the initial data for a TNS/R native process.
TNS/R native process. A process initiated by executing a TNS/R native object file. Contrast
with TNS/E native process.
TNS/R native shared run-time library (TNS/R native SRL). A shared run-time library
(SRL) available to TNS/R native processes in both the Guardian and Open System
Services (OSS) environments. TNS/R native SRLs can be either public or private. A
TNS/R native process can have multiple public SRLs but only one private SRL.
TNS/R native signal. A signal model available to TNS/R native processes in both the
Guardian and HP NonStop Open System Services (OSS) environments. TNS/R native
signals are used for error exception handling.
TNS/R native user library. A user library available to TNS/R native processes in both the
Guardian and HP NonStop Open System Services (OSS) environments. A TNS/R
native user library is implemented as a special private TNS/R native shared run-time
library (TNS/R native SRL).
TNSVU. A tool used to browse through TNS object files that have been accelerated by the
TNS Object Code Accelerator (OCA). TNSVU displays Intel® Itanium® code in
addition to TNS code.
user code. A logically distinct part of the HP NonStop operating system that consists of the
code for user processes.
user library. A logically distinct part of the HP NonStop operating system that consists of
procedures that the operating system can link to a program file at run time.
