The pragma default settings are:
Usage Guidelines
•
In the Guardian environment, the CHECK pragma must be entered on the compiler
RUN command line. In the OSS environment, the CHECK pragma must be
entered in the source file.
•
If one of the run-time checks controlled by the CHECK pragma discovers an
inconsistency, it prints a stack trace to the standard error file and terminates
program execution.
•
The run-time checks diagnose several inconsistencies, including:
°
Attempted conversion of a byte pointer to a word pointer when the byte pointer
points to an odd byte address
°
Attempted conversion of a 32-bit pointer to a 16-bit pointer when the 32-bit
pointer points to an address in extended memory
°
Library calls that do not specify valid values for arguments
•
The run-time checks provided by the CHECK pragma can slow the execution of
your program. Consequently, you should use CHECK only when developing and
debugging your program.
•
The native C and C++ compilers do not support these pragmas. The native C run-
time library does not provide the additional parameter checking provided by the
TNS C run-time library.
COLUMNS
The COLUMNS pragma specifies the maximum logical line length of the source file.
last-column
specifies the last column in a source line to process. The compiler ignores any text
in the line beyond this column. last-column must be in the range 20 through
32767.
