Description
C compiler, debugger and IDE for development of 16 bit OS/2 and DOS code, based on an older Microsoft C compiler.
IBM's C/2 contains many additional features while maintaining a compatibility with former IBM Personal Computer C Compiler Version 1.0.
Discontinued in 1992 with the release of IBM C Set
Features
- Runs on an generates code or IBM OS/2 and IBM DOS
- on 8086/88 machines only IBM DOS is supported
- C/2 and generated code can run concurrently within OS/2's multi-tasking environment
- Support for multiple selectable memory models
- Library routines that provide greater program function
- Aditional Compiler Switches
- enhanced MAKE utility (macros and inference rules)
- Interactive symbolic debug utility that allows isolation of program errors at the source code level (CodeView)
- Full-screen window interface
- Viewing source code or generated assembly code during execution
- Single stepping through source code or generated assembly code
- Symbolic references to local or global variables
- Setting breakpoints, including conditional breakpoints based on changing memory or expression evaluation
- Options to view or modify memory, display contents of registers, view application output screen
- Ability to display and assign new values to variables
- EXEMOD utility for modification of DOS *.EXE file header
- Math Co-Processor support / Provides Math Co-Processor emulation
For creating Presentation Manager applications IBM C/2 Version 1.10 and IBM OS/2 Toolkit Version 1.10 are required.
