Parsing compiler reports with development tools

Software development tools can be created to parse the compiler reports produced in XML format. These tools can help direct you to opportunities to improve the performance of your application.

The compiler ships with an XML schema that you can use to create a tool to parse the compiler reports and display aspects of your code that may represent performance improvement opportunities. The schema, xllisting.xsd, is located in the /usr/vacpp/listings/ directory. There is also a version of the file designed for you to read in your browser. It is called XMLContent.html.

This schema presents the information from the report in a tree structure.
