MIPS RISC word
MIPS RISC word. An instruction-set-defined unit of memory. A MIPS RISC word is 4 bytes
(32 bits) wide, beginning on any 4-byte boundary in memory. Contrast with TNS word
and word. See also Intel® Itanium® word.
native. An adjective that can modify object code, object file, process, procedure, and mode
of process execution. Native object files contain native object code, which directly uses
MIPS or Intel® Itanium® instructions and the corresponding conventions for register
handling and procedure calls. Native processes are those created by executing native
object files. Native procedures are units of native object code. Native mode execution
is the state of the process when it is executing native procedures.
native-compiled Itanium instructions. See Intel® Itanium® instructions.
native-compiled MIPS RISC instructions. See MIPS RISC instructions.
native-compiled RISC instructions. See MIPS RISC instructions.
native link editor. See eld utility, ld utility, or nld utility.
native mode. See TNS/R native mode or TNS/E native mode.
native-mode code. Object code that has been compiled with TNS/R native compilers to run
on TNS/R systems or with TNS/E native compilers to run on TNS/E systems.
native-mode library. A native-compiled loadfile associated with one or more other native-
compiled loadfiles. A native mode process can have any number of associated native-
mode libraries. See also TNS library, TNS/R library, and TNS/E library.
native-mode source code. High-level language routines that can be compiled with either
TNS/R native compilers or TNS/E native compilers. These two sets of compilers
accept the same language dialects.
native object code. See TNS/R native object code or TNS/E native object code.
native object file. See TNS/R native object file or TNS/E native object file.
native object file tool. See noft utility and enoft utility.
native process. See TNS/R native process or TNS/E native process.
native signal. See TNS/R native signal or TNS/E native signal.
native system library. Synonym for implicit library.
nld utility. A utility that collects, links, and modifies code and data blocks from one or more
object files to produce a target TNS/R native object file. See also eld utility and ld utility.
noft utility. A utility that reads and displays information from TNS/R native object files. See
also enoft utility.
