Implementation Specific Details

As indicated several times earlier, many of the details of mixed language programming are implementation dependent. This section will deal in turn with each type of hardware that Starlink possesses. Given that programs can be written in a portable way, you may wonder if you need to know about the implementation specific details at all. This is in fact necessary when debugging programs, since the debugger will be working on the output of any macros that hide the implementation specific details from the programmer.

There is some duplication between the following subsections, one for each type of operating system, particularly in the examples. This has been done so that each section can be read separately from any other.
