Debugging
On the ETK platform, debug pTAL source code using Visual Inspect. After Visual
Inspect is installed on your workstation, you can configure Visual Inspect as an
external tool.
On the command-line platform, debug loadfiles that were compiled through the pTAL
cross compiler either by using Visual Inspect on Windows or by running Native Inspect
on the NonStop RISC-based or Itanium-based server. To use Native Inspect, you must
copy the loadfiles and the source files to the host (see PC-to-NonStop-Host Transfer
Tools on page 18-7).

Tools and Utilities
The following tools and utilities allow you to use the pTAL cross compiler more
efficiently:

NonStop ar Utility
The NonStop ar utility creates and maintains archives composed of groups of object
files. After an archive has been created, new files can be added and existing files can
be extracted, deleted, or replaced.
The ar utility accepts all OSS files, Guardian TNS code files, Guardian C text files (file
code 180 files), TNS/R (PIC and non-PIC) native object files, and TNS/E native linkfiles
or loadfiles as archive members.
You can mix one or more object file formats in one archive file; however, such an
archive file will not contain the symbols table and cannot be used by the linker.
