{{Software
A C development system introduced by IBM alongside the 2.0 version of OS/2 and replaced the [[Microsoft]] sourced [[IBM C/2]]. Available in two versions, one supporting C originally sold as C Set/2 but later just renamed '''C Set''' and a replacement version that also supported C++ development that is known as '''C Set++'''. The compiler itself appears to be a port of the '''C Set++''' tool from [[AIX]] that was also available for [[OS/400]], but version numbers did not match and the GUI utilities and front ends were specific to OS/2.

'''IBM C Set++ for OS/2''' is a C/C++ development system for creating 32-bit OS/2 applications. The compiler itself appears to be a port of the '''C Set++''' tools from [[AIX]] that were also available for [[OS/400]], but version numbers did not match and the GUI utilities and front ends were specific to OS/2.

Otherwise the package is notable as the first PC C++ compiler that correctly and fully implemented templates and exceptions.
A popular package that bundled the C Set/2 toolkit with the [[OS/2 SDK]] and the [[WorkFrame/2]] development environment for a price that was only a little higher than what the company charged for C Set/2 itself. It was only sold for a limited time in 1992 as an enticement to new developers, but at the time the WorkFrame/2 environment was considered a boon to development since it allowed you easily to integrate existing third party OS/2, [[DOS]] and [[MS Windows]] development tools into your working environment.

IBM C Set++ for OS/2 is a C/C++ development system for creating 32-bit OS/2 applications. The compiler itself appears to be a port of the C Set++ tools from AIX that were also available for OS/400, but version numbers did not match and the GUI utilities and front ends were specific to OS/2.

Features

In addition to the compiler the system came with a visual trace analysis tool, a GUI IDE, a graphical debugger and a graphical C++ class browser. Note that as of version 2.1 the C++ compiler conforms to the AT&T Version 3. Otherwise the package is notable as the first PC C++ compiler that correctly and fully implemented templates and exceptions.
