C/C++ provides users with a versatile compiler that supports both the C and C++programming languages with different language modes (see "C language support of the compiler" and "C++ language support of the compiler").
Programmers who are developing C and C++ programs are also supported by a global listing generator which, among other things, can be used to create listings for multiple modules (e.g. cross-reference listings, project listings).
Both the C/C++ compiler and the supplementary development tools can be operated and controlled via a convenient SDF user interface.
In order to generate and execute C/C++ programs, you will also need the CommonRunTime Environment CRTE, which is supplied with the following components:
headers and modules for the C library (ANSI C functions, POSIX functions as defined in XPG4 spec1170, BS2000-specific extensions) and
headers and modules for various C++ libraries (i.e. the C++ V2.1 compatible C++ library, the standard C++ library and the Tools.h++ library).
