OverviewBoasting a state-of-the-art C compiler and new innovative graphical source debugger, the C for AIX®, Version 5.0 program is designed to support IBM's powerful AIX Version 4 operating system and latest symmetric multi-processing (SMP) RS/6000® hardware. C for AIX, Version 5.0 extends the existing SMP support from C for AIX, Version 4.4, by supporting the OpenMP industry specification. OpenMP provides a model for parallel programming that allows a program to be portable across shared memory architectures from different vendors by using a common set of APIs. C for AIX provides improved compile and execution performance, additional memory management debug routines, and supports the run-time dynamic linking provided by AIX Version 4.2.1, or later. C for AIX also provides improved prototyping of programs and improved cross-platform compatibility of compilers within the VisualAge® family. It offers C language features and improved optimization to protect your investment in existing C applications, including 64-bit integer data type, 128-bit floating-point data type, and run-time address checking. In addition, Version 5.0 includes a new source debugger with an enhanced GUI. C for AIX, Version 5.0, offers the following features:
Key Prerequisites
Planned Availability DateDescriptionC for AIX, Version 5.0 is designed to exploit the latest RS/6000 hardware including the latest PowerPC technology. Applications developed with this compiler can now exploit the power of the RS/6000 hardware improvements. C for AIX, Version 5.0 allows programmers to deliver high-performance, scalable 32-bit and 64-bit applications, demanded by such industries as:
This latest C compiler provides:
OpenMPOpenMP is an industry specification describing a common set of APIs for multiplatform SMP programming. OpenMP is a portable, scalable programming model designed to provide SMP programmers with a simple and flexible interface for developing parallel applications for platforms ranging from the desktop to the super computer. C for AIX contains OpenMP pragma directives that exploit shared memory parallelism. OpenMP pragmas fall into four general categories:
Distributed DebuggerThe Distributed Debugger, included with the C for AIX, Version 5.0 product, allows the programmer to find problems in a program easily and efficiently. It can also be used as a tool to understand a program. By allowing the programmer to control the program being debugged, a trace can be initiated through the flow of program execution and, at any desired point, it can be stopped and the program's internal state can be examined. The values of variables and expressions can be examined using the monitors available in the debugger. The call stack for each thread in a program can also be examined. The Distributed Debugger component provides support for the following languages:
Automatic and Explicit Loop ParallelingAutomatic and explicit paralleling of countable (paralleled) loops is supported. Loops can be made parallel automatically through the use of a compiler option, or explicitly through the use of IBM directives. Pragma directives are used to improve on automatic paralleling performed by the compiler and fall into two general categories:
64-Bit SupportC for AIX, Version 5.0 provides 64-bit pointer and 64-bit addressability support for SMP and serial codes. High optimization levels, interprocedural analysis, and SMP are supported for 64-bit code. Unicode SupportC for AIX, Version 5.0 provides support for Unicode to allow application developers to develop C applications that handle all of the various languages contained within the Unicode standard in a consistent fashion. This also enables application developers to write Unicode enabled applications that will be portable across all IBM operating systems. Performance EnhancementsPerformance enhancements that exploit the latest RS/6000 hardware capabilities are made available through new options and pragmas. A new higher level of optimization is also introduced in IBM C for AIX, Version 5.0. Valuable information provided by new source code directives in the form of pragmas and built-in functions also increases the compiler's ability to exploit performance. Compilation FlexibilityThe compiler can be used to compile in either 64- or 32-bit modes. Programs compiled in 64-bit mode can only be run on 64-bit CPUs using AIX Version 4.3, or later. Programs compiled in 32-bit mode can be run on either 64- or 32-bit CPUs using AIX Version 4.2.1, or later. Industry StandardsC for AIX, Version 5.0 supports the following industry standards for compiling C language source code:
Source CompatibilityC for AIX, Version 5.0 provides a high degree of binary compatibility with applications written using earlier releases of IBM C for AIX, Versions 3 and 4. SMP, 32-bit, and 64-bit applications can execute at the same time and can share access to files, shared memory, and inter-process communication resources. C for AIX, Version 5.0 includes options to assist in the porting of 32-bit applications to 64-bit applications. These options highlight specific areas where porting problems tend to occur. C for AIX, Version 5.0, produces applications that run in the AIX Version 4.2.1, or later environments and support the AIX Version 4 tools. Year 2000This product is Year-2000-ready. When used in accordance with its associated documentation, it is capable of correctly processing, providing, and/or receiving date data within and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, provided that all products (for example, hardware, software, and firmware) used with the product properly exchange accurate date data with it. The service end date for this Year 2000 ready product is June 30, 2001.
