Glossary
benchmarking: A type of program execution that allows you to track the
number of CPU cycles consumed by a specific section of code.
breakpoint: A point within your program where execution will halt because
of a previous request from you.
C
C: A high-level, general-purpose programming language useful for writing
compilers and operating systems and for programming microprocessors.
CALLS window: A window that lists the functions called by your program.
casting: A feature of C expressions that allows you to use one type of data
as if it were a different type of data.
children: Additional windows opened for aggregate types that are members
of a parent aggregate type displayed in an existing DISP window.
cl30: A shell utility that invokes the TMS320 floating-point DSP compiler, assembler, and linker to create an executable object file version of your program.
click: To press and release a mouse button without moving the mouse.
CLK: A pseudoregister that shows the number of CPU cycles consumed
during benchmarking. The value in CLK is valid only after you enter a
RUNB command but before you enter another RUN command.
code-display windows: Windows that show code, text files, or code-specific information. This category includes the DISASSEMBLY, FILES, and
CALLS windows.
COFF: Common Object File Format. An implementation of the object file format of the same name developed by AT&T. The TMS320 floating-point
DSP compiler, assembler, and linker use and generate COFF files.
command line: The portion of the COMMAND window where you can enter
commands.
command-line cursor: A block-shaped cursor that identifies the current
character position on the command line.
COMMAND window: A window that provides an area for you to enter commands and for the debugger to echo command entry, show command
output, and list progress or error messages.
