Software Announcement 203-129 May 13, 2003 IBM C/C++ for z/VM Speeds Time to Market with Object-Oriented Programming
At a GlanceIBM C/C++ for z/VM, V1.1:
For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or the Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: LE001). OverviewC/C++ for z/VM™, V1.1 introduces C++ to the z/VM platform. Application programmers can now take advantage of the C++ object-oriented model of programming to create mission-critical applications on z/VM more quickly and with fewer errors. C/C++ for z/VM includes a C compiler and a C++ compiler giving you the flexibility to write both C and C++ applications or to extend existing C applications using C++. C/C++ for z/VM is the newest platform addition to the IBM family of C/C++ compilers which supports the C and C++ languages on z/OS™ and OS/390® (zSeries™), AIX® and Linux™ (pSeries™), and OS/400® (iSeries™). This software provides the following:
Because the C/C++ for z/VM compiler is part of the IBM family of C/C++ compilers, portability of applications to z/VM from other IBM platforms is greatly enhanced. And because C/C++ for z/VM builds on official international standards, portability of applications to and from other non-IBM platforms is also made easier. C/C++ for z/VM, V1.1 brings a highly productive and powerful object-oriented development environment to z/VM programmers. DescriptionC/C++ for z/VM, V1.1 makes both a C and C++ compiler available in one offering. Few programming languages have the flexibility of the C language. C contains the same capabilities as other modern structured programming languages plus it provides bit manipulation capability, making it an excellent assembly language substitute. This general-purpose, high-function programming language is popular with application developers worldwide. C++ combines the technical and practical advantages of the C language with the benefits of object-oriented programming. Benefits of C++ include:
C++ CompilerC/C++ for z/VM makes the C++ program language available to z/VM application programmers. 1998 C++ Standard: The ISO/IEC 14882:1998 International Standard (also known as the Standard C++) specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C++ language. This International Standard is designed to promote the portability of C++ programs among a variety of implementations. ISO/IEC 14882:1998 is the first formal definition of the C++ language. The C++ compiler within IBM C/C++ for z/VM conforms to this latest 1998 ISO/IEC Standard. With representation from IBM's compiler development team on the ISO/ANSI C++ committee, IBM is in a position to understand the latest updates and clarifications of the ISO 1998 C++ Standard. C/C++ for z/VM includes all of the features defined by the ISO 1998 C++ Standard, including:
C++ Standard Library: The new C++ Standard Library includes the following:
The IBM Open Class® Library is currently included with the z/OS V1R2 C/C++ compiler. While documented in association with the z/OS C/C++ compiler, the IBM Open Class Library is not included with the C/C++ for z/VM program. The IBM Open Class was implemented prior to the availability of the C++ Standard Library. With the introduction of the new ISO C++ 1998 standard, IBM will standardize on the C++ Standard Library and the STL. IBM has withdrawn or announced its intention to withdraw the IBM Open Class Library from the C++ implementation on other IBM Platforms. Customers who wish to gain the most portability for their new applications should use the C++ Standard Library.
From the z/OS V1R2 C/C++ compiler, the UNIX® System Laboratories I/O Stream and Complex
Mathematics libraries are included with C/C++ for z/VM. You are able to choose between the C++
Standard I/O Stream and Complex Mathematics libraries, or the UNIX System Laboratories C++ Language
System Release (USL) I/O Stream and Complex Mathematics libraries. However, for the most
portability you should use the C++ Standard libraries.
C CompilerThe C compiler within C/C++ for z/VM V1.1 conforms to the ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (1992) C language standard. Conformance to the ISO/IEC standards gives the source code written for the C/C++ for z/VM compiler the advantage of a high level of portability to other C compiler implementations. With representation from IBM's compiler development team on the ANSI C committee, IBM is in a position to understand the latest updates and clarifications of the C programming language standard.
The IBM family of C/C++ compilers includes C for VM/ESA®, V3.1. Therefore there is a high degree
of source level compatibility between C for VM/ESA, V3.1 and C/C++ for z/VM, V1.1.
Additional C and C++ FeaturesThe C and C++ compilers of C/C++ for z/VM, when used with Language Environment® Environment, offer many other features to enhance your programming:
Accessibility by People with DisabilitiesC/C++ supports a command line interface and is fully accessible. Product PositioningIBM C/C++ for z/VM introduces the C++ programming language to the VM platform. The C language introduced structured programming to the application development (AD) process. C++ introduces object-oriented programming to the AD process. If you have a requirement for porting applications to and from other IBM or non-IBM platforms then C/C++ for z/VM is the answer. C/C++ for z/VM is part of IBM family of C/C++ compilers that support all of IBM's major platforms. The code base for all of these compilers (both C and C++) is the same which greatly enhances source-level portability. In addition, both the C and the C++ compilers conform to the ISO/IEC International Standards which enhances portability of code to a variety of compiler implementations.
