Description
IBM C and C++ Compilers, Version 3.6.5 is one of the two compiler tools coming with the VAC/C++ 4.0 package, released 1998-12-18. It is provided there for compatibility reasons with older software, with software for VAC 3.5 for Windows NT and projects that need a stand-alone compiler tool (the VAC 4.0 compiler is integrated in the IDE and not available as a standalone tool any more). It still does not support all ISO C++ standard features.
As described in the product overview, the product includes:
- a rich set of IBM Class Libraries
- graphical debuggers
- memory management routines
- resource tools for creating and compiling resources and converting between platform formats
- a powerful full-text online help search engine
The product has two fixpacks, plus some fixes necessary for the Mozilla project, that originally used this compiler. Since version 1.4, Mozilla has been built using GCC instead, since this compiler could not handle the later Mozilla code that uses more modern C++.
