Using the Assembler with XDC
Cole Software’s z/XDC product
can take advantage of the extra information produced by the Tachyon assemblers.
If the TEST option is specified, the
assembler will emit IBM-compatible SYM records, including all of those
produced by IBM’s older assemblers but no longer generated by the
more recent ones.
XDC uses these records to produce a more complete map of the program.
z/XDC can also use ADATA records
produced by the assembler.
The assembler also supports two options, providing interfaces specifically
for use with XDC.
The first interface is specified via the TEST(XDC)
option. With this interface active, there is no need to run the XDCSYMED
utility prior to linking programs.
The second interface is specified via the TEST(LONG)
option. This interface allows XDC to display information about symbols with
names longer than 8 characters.
