TNS/R library
interpretation or after acceleration. TNS/R systems include all HP systems that use
NSR-x processors. Contrast with TNS and TNS/E.
TNS/R library. A TNS/R native-mode library. For a PIC-compiled application, TNS/R
libraries can be dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) or hybridized native shared runtime
libraries (SRLs). For an application that is not PIC compiled, TNS/R libraries can only
be native SRLs.
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.
Contrast with TNS interpreted mode and TNS accelerated mode. See also TNS/E
native mode.
TNS/R native object code. The MIPS RISC instructions that result from processing
program source code with a TNS/R native compiler. TNS/R native object code
executes only on TNS/R systems, not on TNS systems or TNS/E systems.
TNS/R native object file. An object file created by a TNS/R native compiler that contains
MIPS RISC instructions and other information needed to construct the code spaces
and the initial data for a TNS/R native process.
TNS/R native process. A process initiated by executing a TNS/R native object file. Contrast
with TNS process
and TNS/E native process.
TNS/R native shared run-time library (TNS/R native SRL). A shared run-time library
(SRL) available to TNS/R native processes in both the Guardian and Open System
Services (OSS) environments. TNS/R native SRLs can be either public or private. A
TNS/R native process can have multiple public SRLs but only one private SRL.
TNS/R native signal. A signal model available to TNS/R native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. TNS/R native signals are
used for error exception handling.
TNS/R native user library. A user library available to TNS/R native processes in both the
Guardian and Open System Services (OSS) environments. A TNS/R native user library
is implemented as a special private TNS/R native shared run-time library (TNS/R
native SRL).
