Runtime Library Extensions

This section describes documents for the C/C++ Compiler feature. For related books of the z/OS C/C++ Compiler features, see XL C/C++ Compiler.

: Common Debug Architecture User's Guide introduces the user to Common Debug Architecture (CDA). It first provides a high-level overview of CDA. The document then illustrates how to use the CDA libraries and utilities, through explanations and examples. Finally, it shows an example implementation, using the utilities that are shipped with CDA.

: Common Debug Architecture Library Reference is the reference for the Common Debug Architecture (CDA) library, libddpi. It provides a brief overview of CDA, but the majority of the document is a detailed description of every API and type. CDA is written in the C programming language. CDA is based on ELF application binary interfaces (ABIs) and the DWARF format.

: DWARF/ELF Extensions Library Reference is intended for programmers who will be developing program-analysis applications and debugging applications for the IBM C/C++ compiler on the z/OS operating system. These applications will create or query information from ELF objects and DWARF debugging information on the z/OS operating system.
