What IBM XL C/C++ for z/VM can do for your business
IBM® XL C/C++ for z/VM® is an optimizing compiler designed for developing large, complex, computationally-intensive applications.
IBM XL C/C++ for z/VM is the language centered C/C++ application development environment on the z/VM platform. It is a z/VM-enabled version of z/OS XL C/C++, which includes a C/C++ compiler component (referred to as the XL C/C++ compiler) and some C/C++ application development utilities.
IBM XL C/C++ for z/VM lets you write C and C++ applications that are optimized for IBM Z® systems hardware.
Optimize application performance
Supports high-order transformations, which are optimizations that improve performance for loops; also support OPTIMIZE(3) or OPT(3), the compiler's highest and most aggressive level of optimization.
Migrate applications easily
Conforms to the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 international standard (C99), the ANSI/ISO 1998 C++ standard, and a standards-conforming C compiler and includes the C++ Standard Library.
Simplify the porting of applications
Supports industry standards to simplify the porting of applications to z/VM from both IBM and non-IBM platforms.
