IBM VisualAge C++ also commonly known in the OS/2 user community as '''VAC''' and as '''VAC++''' in the [[AIX]] community, is a multi-platform C and C++ development package that replaced the [[IBM C Set++ for OS/2]] package with a more modern visually oriented development system written in [[Smalltalk]] like the rest of the VisualAge products. It came with a WPS integrated [[IBM_VAC_3.0_Workframe|"Workframe"]] that replaced the mostly text based [[WorkFrame/2]] and was a integrated product unlike the latter tool, an [[IBM_VAC_3.0_Visual_Builder|"Visual Builder"]] for visual programming of visual and non-visual parts, [[VAC_3.0_Compiler_and_Linker|compiler/linker]], a [[VAC_3.0_Debugger|Debugger]] and sundry build and [[NMAKE|Make]] tools and other utilities.

IBM VisualAge C++ (VA C++) is a family of C and C++ development packages available for different platforms and operating systems.

History

The OS/2 version that replaced the IBM C Set++ for OS/2 product with a more modern visually oriented development system written in Smalltalk like the rest of the VisualAge products. It came with a WPS integrated "Workframe" that replaced the mostly text based WorkFrame/2 and was a integrated product unlike the latter tool, an "Visual Builder" for visual programming of visual and non-visual parts, compiler/linker, a Debugger and sundry build and Make tools and other utilities.

If certain rules were followed code written under the VisualAge C++ system was portable between OS/2, MS Windows and AIX without any changes, and the package offered a number of tools and libraries to ease porting between the supported operating systems.
