New Memory Allocation Function

CRE has a new memory allocation function: malloc_pages(). The behavior of

malloc_pages is the same as malloc(), except that the allocated memory is

automatically aligned to a page boundary. The number of bytes requested for the

space is rounded up to a multiple of the page size so that the allocated space always

occupies one or more complete pages.

Developing TNS/R Native Programs on

H-Series Systems

Beginning with the H06.05 RVU, TNS/R development tools are supported on H-series

systems. Using these tools, you can compile and link TNS/R native programs on an

H-series system, then transfer the object files to a G-series system for execution. The

TNS/R object files cannot be executed on an H-series system. You can, however, use

Visual Inspect on a TNS/E system to debug TNS/R snapshot files produced on a

TNS/R platform. Table 2-6 shows the TNS/R tools that are available on H-series

systems.

In addition to these tools, all required TNS/R native run-time libraries and header files

are also available on the H-series. This enables you compile and link TNS/R native

programs on an H-series system, then deploy and execute them on the desired TNS/R

system.

TNS/R compilation in H-series is supported only for G06.20 and later G-series RVUs.

The H-series TNS/R compilers and tools have all the features of the G06.20 and later

G-series products. The compilers and tools have the same functionality as the G06.27
