Command list
Command list. A list of one or more Inspect commands, separated by semicolons.
Command mode. An operating mode of Inspect that defines the type of access you have
to your program. The low-level command mode provides machine-level access, and
high-level command mode provides source-level access.
Command terminal. A terminal at which system managers, developers, and programmers
interact with system-level utility programs.
Common Run-Time Environment (CRE). A set of services implemented by the CRE
library that supports mixed-language programs on D-series systems. Contrast with
language-specific run-time environment.
Common Run-Time Environment (CRE) library. A collection of routines that supports
requests for services managed by the CRE, such as I/O and heap management, math
and string functions, exception handling, and error reporting. CRE library routines can
be called by C, COBOL85, FORTRAN, Pascal, and TAL user routines and run-time
libraries.
compiler extended-data segment. A selectable segment, with ID 1024, created and
selected automatically in many (but not all) TNS processes. Within this segment, the
compiler automatically allocates global and local variables and heaps that would not fit
in the TNS user data segment. A programmer must keep this segment selected
whenever those items might be referenced. Any alternative selections of segments
must be temporary and undone before returning.
complex instruction-set computing (CISC). A processor architecture based on a large
instruction set, characterized by numerous addressing modes, multicycle machine
instructions, and many special-purpose instructions. Contrast with reduced
instruction-set computing (RISC).
conditional breakpoint. A breakpoint defined with break conditions that govern its ability
to trigger a break event.
CRE. See Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).
current breakpoint. The breakpoint that caused the most recent break event in a program,
and beyond which that program's execution has not advanced.
current program. The program that you are currently debugging. If you are debugging
several programs concurrently, you use the PROGRAM command to specify which of
them is the current program.
current scope path. The scope path that Inspect uses to complete any partially qualified
code or data references. Whenever a debug event occurs in a program you are
debugging, Inspect automatically sets the current scope path to the path that defines
the scope unit where the event occurred. You can set the current scope path explicitly
using the SCOPE command.
