- Porting Assistant
- Speeds your port to Tru64 UNIX
The Porting Assistant is a
software development tool that helps you port your source code to Tru64
UNIX from other UNIX and HP OpenVMS platforms.
Why do you need the Porting
Assistant?
- Because differences exist between dialects
of UNIX and between OpenVMS and UNIX.
- Because 32-bit applications are typically
written with assumptions about word size, availability of physical memory, virtual address
space, etc. and moving to 64-bits can expose parts of your program that inadvertently rely
on these 32-bit properties.
The Porting Assistant identifies C, C++
and Fortran code that may not compile or run properly on Tru64 UNIX. It also provides
tools and online information that empower you to modify your code so it runs optimally on
Tru64 UNIX.
Using an intuitive Motif-based GUI, the
Porting Assistant helps you:
- Locate code that may need to be changed to
run effectively on Tru64 UNIX
- Understand why the changes are needed
- Make the necessary changes
The Porting Assistant Version 3.0 runs on
Versions 4.0 or later of Tru64 UNIX and requires an Alpha workstation or server. Select hardware and software requirements for more information.
