Subject: DEC C++ for OpenVMS Alpha V5.5-017 SSB compiler release
The DEC C++ development group announces the availability of the V5.5-017 SSB
kit. This is a highly optimized 32 bit native compiler using the
GEM backend.
The V5.5-017 SSB kit contains enhancements that have been made
since previous versions, including:
o DEC C++ V5.5-017 for OpenVMS Alpha provides numerous enhancements in
debugging support. To take advantage of these improvements, you need
to use a new version of DEBUG, V7.1C-000, which is included with the
DEC C++ kit. (See below)
o All bugs fixed since V5.4
The V5.5-017 kit includes the following savesets:
CXX055.A DEC C++ V5.5-017
ADB071.A DEBUG V7.1C-000 saveset A
ADB071.B DEBUG V7.1C-000 saveset B
ADB071.C DEBUG V7.1C-000 saveset C
To install DEC C++ V5.5-017 and DEBUG V7.1C-000, install products CXX055
and ADB071 using VMSINSTAL (see installation guide). DEBUG V7.1C-000 can
be installed on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 or later.
The installation of DEBUG V7.1C-000 does not replace the existing
DEBUG on your system. Rather, it adds additional DEBUG images
specifically intended for use with DEC C++ V5.5-017. The installation
adds the file sys$startup:debugsetup.com, which can be used to select
which version of the debugger is invoked. One way to use the new
C++ debugger is to type:
@SYS$STARTUP:DEBUGSETUP.COM CXX /JOB
This defines logical names in the job logical name table so that
the new C++ debugger (DEBUG V7.1C-000) is invoked by default. You
can specify other logical name tables as the second parameter. For
example, to modify the system logical name table, type:
@SYS$STARTUP:DEBUGSETUP.COM CXX /SYSTEM
Depending on which logical name table is specified, you may want to
invoke SYS$STARTUP:DEBUGSETUP.COM in your login command file. See
SYS$STARTUP:DEBUGSETUP.COM for more information. This command file
also can be used to revert to the standard system debugger or to
deassign all debugger logical names.
When debugging code generated by DEC C++ V5.5-017, you need to use
DEBUG V7.1C-000 or later since V5.5-017 generates new symbol table information
that is not understood by prior versions of the debugger.
See the release notes for more information.
The network 5.5 SSB kit is contained in one save set at:
DECC::DECC$KIT:[CXXALPHAVMS]CXX055.A
The corresponding latest DEBUG V7.1 kit can also be found in the same directory
DECC::DECC$KIT:[CXXALPHAVMS]ADB071.A
DECC::DECC$KIT:[CXXALPHAVMS]ADB071.B
DECC::DECC$KIT:[CXXALPHAVMS]ADB071.C
The corresponding documentation can be found in DECC::DECC$KIT:[CXXALPHAVMS]
CXX055_RBI.PS;1 CXX055_RBI.TXT;1
CXX055_SPD.PS;1 CXX055_SPD.TXT;1
CXX_AXP_INSTAL_GUIDE.PS; CXX_AXP_INSTAL_GUIDE.TXT;
Problem reports can be made through the notes conference:
- TURRIS::C_PLUS_PLUS
This native kit is a regular VMSINSTAL kit, which requires an LMF PAK
and OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 (or higher).
