| Description |
The XL C/C++ for AIX compiler continues to provide additional functionality and enhancements including support for OpenMP API V3.0 for increased parallel programming capability. This release of XL C/C++ compiler also supports the latest AIX operating system, introduces the partial support for the C++0x features, and includes performance tuning and optimization enhancements.
In this release, XL C/C++ supports the OpenMP API V3.0 specification. The new and enhanced features in OpenMP V3.0 include:
C++0x is the working draft of the next C++ programming language standard. XL C/C++ supports the following C++0x features in this release:
Many suboptions are added to the -qstrict option to allow more fine-grained control over optimizations and transformations that are controlled by the -qstrict option. Since higher level of optimizations may require relaxing strict program semantics, the addition of the suboptions allows relaxation of selected rules in order to get specific benefits of faster code without turning off all semantic verification.
There are 16 new suboptions added and can be used separately or by using a suboption groups. The groups are:
Other enhancements in XL C/C++ for AIX, V10.1 include new and changed compiler options and directives as well as the enhancements to performance related compiler options such as -qreport and -qsmp=omp.

| Product positioning |
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V10.1 is part of a larger family of IBM C, C++, and Fortran compilers. These compilers are derived from a common code base that shares compiler function and optimization technologies for a variety of platforms and programming languages. Programming environments include AIX, IBM Blue Gene/L, IBM Blue Gene/P, the Cell Broadband Engine architecture, IBM i, selected Linux distributions, z/OS, and z/VM. The common code base, along with compliance with international programming language standards, helps support consistent compiler performance and ease of program portability across multiple operating systems and hardware platforms.
In addition to the support of revised 2003 international C++ standard ISO/IEC 14882:2003(E), Programming Languages C++, the TR1 library extensions for C++, and ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Languages C, this release introduces support for a new version of the standard for the C++ programming language specifically C++0x. This standard has not yet been officially adopted but we are beginning to support some of its features. With representation from the IBM compiler development team on the ISO/ANSI C committee and the ISO/ANSI C++ committee, IBM is in a position to understand the latest updates, clarifications, and recommendations to the C and C++ standards. Support of programming language standards allows for portability of your source code among a variety of compiler implementations.
