Selecting a Development Platform
For information about compiling and binding native C++ programs using the Windows
PC environment, see the online help for the Enterprise Tool Kit. In this manual, the
Enterprise Tool Kit is introduced in Section 18, Using the HP Enterprise Toolkit (ETK)
and Native C/C++ Cross Compiler on the PC.
Selecting a Development Platform
A development platform consists of the hardware system and software environment
available to compile, link, and run a program.
You can develop OSS programs regardless of whether the OSS environment is
available on the system. However, you cannot run and test OSS programs on a system
without the OSS environment.
It is easier to develop a program in the environment in which it runs, but you can
develop a program in one environment that runs in another environment, with a few
restrictions. However, compile times are faster in the PC environment.
Table 16-1, Development Platform Capabilities, describes the capabilities of each
development platform.
The following restrictions apply to developing Guardian programs with OSS tools:
•
You cannot use the RUNNABLE and SEARCH pragmas. However, you can direct the
c89 utility to bind implicitly after a compilation. You can also specify library files to
be searched using the c89 -L flag.
