3.1. Programming Environments
Command-line programming environments provide access to assemblers, compilers, linkers, debuggers, and other useful tools. We shall present only selected features of these environments as needed to elucidate the Itanium ISA.
Appendix A provides an introduction (or review) of elementary aspects of Unix or Linux command-line environments. The self-help exercises in Appendix A are strongly recommended for reassurance before you write and test your first Itanium program.
The contrasting book Programming Itanium-Based Systems by Triebel, Bissell, and Booth describes program development using Windows®-based tools primarily from the perspective of high-level language programming.
