VisualAge C++: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:08, 12 November 2013

Description

IBM VisualAge C++ Version 3.0 for OS/2, full developer's package with a WPS integrated "Workframe", a "Visual Builder" for visual programming of visual and non-visual parts, compiler/linker for C and C++, a Debugger, Build and Make tools and many extras. This used to be the "standard compiler" for OS/2. If all available fixpaks are applied (which is done by applying the cumulative fixpak 8) this package can be considered the most reliable IBM "official developer's tool package" for OS/2 (the latest being version 4.0). A disadvantage is the not fully supported C++ standard (which came later than this compiler). However, you still can use templates, but no namespaces. Code portable between OS/2 and AIX.
