system

• New LICOPT and CSOPT command keywords
• Asynchronous signals
• More in-synch with ILE C++
In this release, the C++ compiler has also been updated to the most current C++ compiler
that IBM has to offer. This iSeries native compiler replaces both the VisualAge C++
cross-compiler and the native C++ PRPQ compiler. It includes support for the latest C++
language features such as namespaces, improved template support, bool data type, etc. It
also includes an improved AT&T class library, a complete ANSI Standard Template Library,
and the very latest version of IBM Open Class library.
Improvements to the stream classes in these libraries include 64-bit indexing and explicit
control on CCSID-translation. The compiler can now read source from and produce listings to
either the integrated file system or the native file system. This new compiler also features
excellent cross-platform portability, which is again enhanced with new support for the
Teraspace memory management model. The compiler retains all of the iSeries-specific
functionality that it had in previous releases. The C++ PRPQ compiler is included for previous
release support and to ease migration to the latest ANSI standard.
ILE C++ V5R1 enhancements include:
• Completely refreshed compiler from latest AIX compiler
• More ANSI support
• Compliant with the latest ANSI ISO/IEC 14882-1998 C++ standard
• Template Library, and namespace support
• Replaces VAC++ cross compiler and native PRPQ compiler
• New release (V5) of IBM Open Class class libraries bool data type
• Read source and includes from IFS or native
• Produce native or IFS spooled file listings
• 64-bit file indexing for stream classes
• Teraspace Addressing support (improves portability/perf)
• More explicit control on CCSID-translation for stream classes
• A third parameter for main() for current environment vars
• Target V4R4, V4R5, and V5R1
• Preprocessor output targeting specified file
