TNS/E native compiler
TNS/E native compiler. A compiler in the TNS/E development environment that generates
TNS/E native object code, following the TNS/E native-mode conventions for memory,
stack, registers, and call linkage. The TNS/E native C compiler is an example of such a
compiler.
Contrast with TNS compiler and TNS/R native compiler.
TNS/E native mode. The primary execution environment on a TNS/E system, in which
native-compiled Itanium object code executes, following TNS/E native-mode compiler
conventions for data locations, addressing, stack frames, registers, and call linkage.
Contrast with TNS interpreted mode and TNS accelerated mode. See also TNS/R
native mode.
TNS/E native object code. The Itanium instructions that result from processing program
source code with a TNS/E native compiler. TNS/E native object code executes only on
TNS/E systems, not on TNS systems or TNS/R systems.
TNS/E native object file. An object file created by a TNS/E native compiler that contains
Itanium instructions and other information needed to construct the code spaces and
the initial data for a TNS/E native process.
TNS/E native process. A process initiated by executing a TNS/E native object file. Contrast
with TNS process and TNS/R native process.
TNS/E native signal. A signal model available to TNS/E native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. TNS/E native signals are
used for error exception handling.
TNS/E native user library. A user library available to TNS/E native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. A TNS/E native user library
is implemented as a TNS/E native dynamic-link library (DLL).
TNS/R. Denotes fault-tolerant HP computers that:
•
Support the NonStop operating system
•
Are based on 32-bit reduced instruction-set computing (RISC) technology.
TNS/R systems run the MIPS-1 RISC instruction set and can run TNS object files by
interpretation or after acceleration. TNS/R systems include all HP systems that use
NSR-
x processors. Contrast with TNS and TNS/E.
TNS/R native C compiler. The C compiler that generates TNS/R object files. Contrast with
TNS C compiler
and TNS/E native C compiler.
TNS/R native compiler. A compiler in the TNS/R development environment that generates
TNS/R native object code, following the TNS/R native-mode conventions for memory,
stack, 32-bit registers, and call linkage. The TNS/R native C compiler is an example of
such a compiler.
Contrast with TNS compiler and TNS/E native compiler.
TNS/R native mode. The primary execution environment on a TNS/R system, in which
native-compiled MIPS object code executes, following TNS/R native-mode compiler
conventions for data locations, addressing, stack frames, registers, and call linkage.
