Visual Inspect
•
Provides language-specific programming support for C, C++, TAL, pTAL, and
COBOL.
•
Features chromacoding, which allows you to select colors to enhance the visibility
of comments, keywords, strings, numbers, preprocessor commands, and braces.
Improves source readability and helps eliminate typing errors.
•
Allows you to select from several ways to view or collapse source files: by function,
by paragraph, by pragma, or by normal view.
•
Is available also as a stand-alone product.
Visual Inspect
Visual Inspect is an optional PC-based (GUI) symbolic debugger designed to work in
complex distributed environments. Visual Inspect:
•
Supports application debugging in either the development or production
environment
•
Uses program visualization, direct manipulation, and other techniques to improve
productivity for both new and sophisticated users
•
Provides source-level debugging for servers executing in either the NonStop
environment; provides additional application navigation features that allow a higher
level of abstraction
•
Supports TNS and native machine architectures and compilers (that is, C, C++,
COBOL, TAL, pTAL, D-series Pascal, and FORTRAN), in both the Guardian and
OSS environments.
•
Is available also as a stand-alone product
For more details about enabling and using Visual Inspect, see the online help for
Visual Inspect.
ar Tool (File Archive)
The ar tool, a utility familiar to UNIX users, is integrated into TDS. Use the ar tool to
create and maintain file archives. The ar tool:
•
Builds a file archive from TNS/R native object files that can then be used as a
statically linked library by the nld linker on any platform where nld runs
•
Is accessed by selecting the Tandem ar command on the Tools menu
•
Is documented in online help accompanying TDS
•
Can be called as a stand-alone tool from a make file or from a command prompt
The ar tool is also available with ETK, supporting either TNS/R or TNS/E files
produced by the ld or eld linkers.
