The Description incremental compiler offers you the ability to move up to the new standards while taking advantage of the VisualAge C++ Professional for AIX Compilers productivity gains from compiling only parts of the program affected by changes made since the last compile and the tight integration between the incremental ANSI/ISO Traditional Makefile-based C++ Compiler: compiler and the IDE. The VisualAge C++ Professional VisualAge C++ Professional for AIX now includes a incremental compiler gives you an opportunity to obtain traditional, makefile-based C++ compiler with a significant productivity gains for new projects that you complete implementation of the ANSI Standard Template may be starting.

This traditional compiler supports 32-bit and VisualAge C++ Debuggers 64-bit architecture and optimization technologies. This traditional compiler is compatible with previous IBM New to VisualAge C++ is the Distributed Debugger. The C++ compilers, making migration and porting to the new Distributed Debugger is a source level debugger. The compiler easy. The traditional compiler is accessible existing debugger within the VisualAge C++ IDE and the directly from the command line. The RS/6000 symmetric new stand-alone Distributed Debugger allow you to debug multiprocessor (SMP) architecture is supported with the programs compiled with traditional debug information. inclusion of the latest AIX C compiler, which supports the The Distributed Debugger also lets you debug programs C OpenMP industry specification allowing for SMP explicit running on remote machines accessible through a TCP/IP directives and automatic paralleling. network. You can use the Distributed Debugger when you want to debug a program, but do not need access to the ANSI/ISO Incremental C++ Compiler: VisualAge C + + full range of information the VisualAge C++ IDE Professional for AIX also includes an incremental debugger provides. Both debuggers support seamless compiler with the ANSI STL. The incremental compiler 32-bit and 64-bit debugging. also supports the latest 1998 ANSI/ISO C++ standard ′ and 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. With the VisualAge The Distributed Debugger s intuitive GUI simplifies C++ Professional incremental compiler, you no longer debugging.
