IBM C Set++ for OS/2: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:46, 1 January 2019

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.
