modules. Thereafter, when you modify a module on which other modules depend, the make utility

automatically initiates recompilation of the dependent modules. The NonStop CORBA sample

programs use a Makefile to perform all the steps for building and configuring applications:

running the IDL compiler, compiling and linking application programs.

c89

This utility is the front end for the C++ compiler. You can invoke c89 from within the make file.

nld

This utility is the native (TNS/R) linker. It links one or more TNS/R native object files to produce

an executable or relinkable native object file. You can run the nld utility from either the Guardian

or the OSS environment. c89 automatically invokes the nld utility. Therefore, in most cases you

need not use nld explicitly when creating application executable files.

The nm command writes the name list of each specified object file to the standard output file. The

nm command displays symbolic information appearing in an object file, executable file, or

object-file library. nm can be used to find symbols that show up in unresolved external error

messages.

noft

The noft utility reads and displays information from native object files. For example, the utility

lets you list shared runtime library (SRL) references or unresolved references in an object file. The

noft utility is very useful for developing and debugging NonStop CORBA C++ language

programs. The noft utility runs in both the Guardian and the OSS environment.

This utility is the OSS editor used to create and update OSS files.

runv

OSS does not provide a native debugger. You use the Guardian Visual Inspect debugger to debug

your NonStop CORBA application programs. See the Open System Services Shell and Utilities

Reference Manual and the online help for Visual Inspect for information on how to use the tool.

Working in the NonStop CORBA Administrative

Environment

Applications that you write use services provided by the NonStop CORBA administrative environment.

This section gives a brief overview of the administrative environment. For more information on the

NonStop CORBA administrative environment, see the NonStop CORBA 2.3 Administration Guide.
