D System-Specific References
This appendix groups together in one place all references in this guide to system-specific information.
This appendix contains this section:
D.1 System-Specific Information
System-specific information is described in the appropriate Oracle system-specific documentation for your platform.
D.1.1 Location of Standard Header Files
The location of the standard Pro*C/C++ header files—sqlca.h, oraca.h, and sqlda.h—is system specific. For other your system, see your Oracle system-specific documentation.
D.1.2 About Specifying Location of Included Files for the C Compiler
When you use the Pro*C/C++ command-line option INCLUDE= to specify the location of a non-standard file to be included, you should also specify the same location for the C compiler. The way you do this is system specific. See "Include Files".
D.1.3 ANSI C Support
Use the CODE= option to make the C code that Pro*C/C++ generates compatible with your system's C compiler. See "Function Prototyping ".
D.1.4 Struct Component Alignment
C compilers vary in the way they align struct components, usually depending on the system hardware. Use the sqlvcp() function to determine the padding added to the .arr component of a VARCHAR struct. See the section "Find the Length of the VARCHAR Array Component ".
D.1.6 Byte Ordering
The order of bytes in a word is platform dependent. See the section "UNSIGNED ".
D.1.7 About Connecting to the Oracle Server
Connecting to the Oracle server using the Oracle Net drivers involves system-specific network protocols. See the section "Interface to OCI Release 8" for more details.
D.1.8 About Linking in an XA Library
You link in your XA library in a system-dependent way. See the section "Linking ", and your Oracle installation or user's guides, for more information.
D.1.9 Location of the Pro*C/C++ Executable
The location of the Pro*C/C++ Precompiler is system specific. See the section "The Precompiler Command", and your installation or user's guides, for more information.
D.1.10 System Configuration File
Each precompiler installation has a system configuration file. This file is not shipped with the precompiler; it must be created by the system administrator. The location (directory path) which Pro*C/C++ searches for the system configuration file is system dependent. See the section "What Occurs During Precompilation? " for more information.
D.1.11 INCLUDE Option Syntax
The syntax for the value of the INCLUDE command-line option is system specific. See "INCLUDE".
D.1.12 About Compiling and Linking
Compiling and linking your Pro*C/C++ output to get an executable application is always system dependent. See the section "Compile and Link ", and the following sections, for additional information.
