We are proud to announce that IBM® XL C/C++ V2.3.1 for z/OS® V2.3 web deliverable is available today on March 29, 2019! You can download the XL C/C++ V2.3.1 for z/OS® V2.3 web deliverable at z/OS Downloads website.
This new compiler delivers the following features:
- New C/C++ compilers that adopt the Clang infrastructure from the LLVM open source community
- Supports the C11 and C++11 language standards in the Clang-based compiler
- New xlclang and xlclang++ invocation commands to invoke the new C/C++ compilers
- Supports EBCDIC and ASCII execution character sets and generating AMODE 64 code, ideal for z/OS UNIX users porting applications from distributed platforms to z/OS
If your application development requires the C++11 language standard, it makes good business sense to upgrade to the latest z/OS XL C/C ++ V2.3.1 compiler because z/OS XL C/C++ V2.3.1 supports more C++11 features than z/OS XL C/C++ V2.3. Upgrading to z/OS XL C/C++ V2.3.1 also makes it easier to port your open source applications to z/OS.
