| Description |
|
The XL C/C++ for Linux compiler continues to provide additional functionality and enhancements including support for OpenMP API V3.0 for increased parallel programming capability. This release of XL C/C++ compiler also introduces the partial support for the C++0x features, and includes performance tuning and optimization enhancements.
Support for OpenMP API V3.0
In this release, XL C/C++ supports OpenMP API V3.0. The new and enhanced features in OpenMP V3.0 include:
- Task level parallelization - The new OpenMP constructs TASK and TASKWAIT give users the ability to parallelize irregular algorithms, such as pointer chasing or recursive algorithms.
- New variable types in for loops - In addition to signed int, for loops can now contain variable values of unsigned int and pointer types.
- Stack size control - Users can now control the size of the stack for threads created by the OMP runtime library using the new environment variable OMP_STACKSIZE.
- New environment variables - Users can provide hints to the compiler on the desired behavior of waiting threads using new environment variables OMP_WAIT_POLICY and OMP_SET_POLICY.
- Storage reuse - Some restrictions on the PRIVATE clause have been removed. A list item that appears in the reduction clause of a parallel construct can now also appear in a PRIVATE clause on a work-sharing construct.
- Scheduling - A new SCHEDULE attribute, auto allows the compiler and runtime system to control scheduling.
- STATIC schedule - Consecutive loop constructs with STATIC schedule can now use nowait.
- Nesting support - A COLLAPSE clause has been added to the DO, FOR, PARALLEL FOR, and PARALLEL DO directives to allow parallelization of perfect loop nests. This means that multiple loops in a nest can be parallelized.
- THREADPRIVATE - THREADPRIVATE directives can now be applied to variables at class scope in addition to file and block scope.
- Parallelize iterator loops - Parallelization of iterator loops of canonical form now includes those with random access iterators.
Partial support for the new C++0x features
C++0x is the working draft of the next C++ programming language standard. XL C/C++ supports the following C++0x features in this release:
- A new language level for C++0x
- New integer promotion rules for arithmetic conversions involving long long data types
- Support of C99 preprocessor features in C++ for easier porting of code between C and C++
Enhancements to -qstrict option
Many suboptions are added to the -qstrict option to allow more fine-grained control over optimizations and transformations that are controlled by the -qstrict option. Because higher level of optimizations may require relaxing strict program semantics, the addition of the suboptions allows relaxation of selected rules in order to get specific benefits of faster code without turning off all semantic verification.
Sixteen new suboptions added and can be used separately or by using a suboption groups. The groups are:
- all - Disables all semantics-changing transformations, including those controlled by the other suboptions.
- ieeefp - Controls whether individual operations conform to IEEE 754 semantics.
- order - Controls whether or not individual operations can be reordered in a way that may violate program language semantics.
- precision - Controls optimizations and transformations that may affect the precision of program results.
- exceptions - Controls optimizations and transformations that may affect the runtime exceptions generated by the program.
Additional enhancements
Other enhancements in XL C/C++ for Linux, V10.1 include new and changed compiler options and directives as well as the enhancements to performance related compiler options such as -qreport and -qsmp=omp.
Accessibility by people with disabilities
A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) containing details on accessibility compliance can be requested at
Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
XL C/C++ for Linux, V10.1 is capable as of September 12, 2008, when used in accordance with associated IBM documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it.

| Product positioning |
|
XL C/C++ for Linux, V10.1 is part of a larger family of IBM C, C++, and Fortran compilers. These compilers are derived from a common code base that shares compiler function and optimization technologies for a variety of platforms and programming languages. Programming environments include AIX, IBM Blue Gene/L, IBM Blue Gene/P, the Cell Broadband Enginetm architecture, IBM i, selected Linux distributions, z/OS, and z/VM. The common code base, along with compliance with international programming language standards, helps support consistent compiler performance and ease of program portability across multiple operating systems and hardware platforms.
In addition to the support of the revised 2003 international C++ standard ISO/IEC 14882:2003(E), Programming Languages -- C++, the TR1 library extensions for C++, and ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Languages -- C, this release introduces support for a new version of the standard for the C++ programming language - specifically C++0x. This standard has not yet been officially adopted but we are beginning to support some of its features. With representation from the IBM compiler development team on the ISO/ANSI C committee and the ISO/ANSI C++ committee, IBM is in a position to understand the latest updates, clarifications, and recommendations to the C and C++ standards. Support of programming language standards allows for portability of your source code among a variety of compiler implementations.
