The prelim draft of the white paper says that C/C++ compilers will
support seamless access to data in the VLM address space.
Not a definitive answer, but it sounds like a "yes" to your
question.

| re .0: Is there some specific issue you are focusing on? If so, it
would be good if you could focus in on that.
As far as the compiler availability, it would seem rather silly to have
an operating system available with VLM support but no compiler to build
apps for it! What causes you to think that this might be an issue?

| Hi,
Thanks for the responses...
The reason that I think this is an issue is because it appears to be what
the VMS C++ compiler group is in fact doing. If you read the turris::c_plus_plus
note number 2749.* (and particularly .7), it appears as if it is going to
be a while before we see 64 bit pointer support.
Our group's tools sometimes has very large memory requirements. Additionally,
some of these tools have started to migrate to C++. If our tools start to
migrate to a non-VMS platform, it will be much more likely that it will be
to NT (rather than UNIX). So, I was just covering my bases by asking the
question.
Dave.
