GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 7 support (APAR PJ45408 and PI98690) provides the ability to use GCC 7 to compile all product and application code for the z/TPF system.
For those using GCC, starting with PJ45408 you have the choice between a combination of compiled product and application code levels:
- Continue with all product and application code compiled with GCC 4.6.
- Compile all product and application code with GCC 7.
- Compile all (recommended) or, at a minimum, some product code with GCC 7, with application code either compiled with GCC 4.6 or GCC 7 as desired.
For more information, see APAR PJ45408.
