TNS/E native object code
TNS/E native object code. The Intel®® 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
Intel® 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. Refers to fault-tolerant HP computers that support the HP NonStop™ operating
system and 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 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.
