Relation of Binder to Crossref, Inspect, and the
Accelerator
Relation of Binder to Crossref, Inspect, and
the Accelerator
The Binder, Inspect, and Crossref tools are designed to complement each other in the
program development cycle. The Accelerator is designed for use after you have written
and debugged your program.
The Inspect symbolic debugger enables you to debug a program or multiple programs
symbolically. That is, you can specify debugging commands using the same identifiers
you used in the source code. Because the Inspect debugger must find symbol tables in
the object module to allow this feature, the compilers provide the symbol information to
Binder at compile time. For more information on the Inspect product, see the Inspect
Manual.
Crossref, a debugging tool, provides symbol reference information in the detail that you
specify. Crossref listings contain source code symbols while Binder cross-reference
information is for object files (entry points and common data blocks only). See the
Crossref Manual for more information.
The Accelerator processes a TNS object file for use on either a TNS or a TNS/R
processor. The Object Code Accelerator processes a TNS object file for use on a
TNS/E processor.
Binder contains several command options that affect accelerated object code. They
are included in the CHANGE, RESET, SHOW, and STRIP commands. These
command options perform functions such as defining which processor the code can
run on. For more information about these commands, see Section 3, BIND
Commands.
For more information about the Accelerator, see the Accelerator Manual.
Pascal* C20 or later B30 or later
TAL C20 or later E01 or later
*BINSERV builds executable object files automatically for C00 or later versions of C
when a specific directive is used; it does not produce executable object files for the
Pascal compiler. For more information, see Binding C Programs
on page 2-11 or
Binding Pascal Programs
on page 2-12
Note. You can submit files bound with previous versions of the Binder to the Accelerator. The
special command options contained in this version of Binder are not required.
