Version A.01.00 Features

Features introduced in the prior release, HP aC++ version A.01.00, are listed below. They apply to HP-UX 10.10 and 10.20 operating systems.

The HP aC++ Online Programmer's Guide contains full documentation. (See Chapter 3 of these release notes for access instructions.)

Improved error messages allow you to quickly isolate problems in your code.
Pre-compiled header files help you speed development substantially. Use them to reduce compilation time and object file size.
An automatic template instantiation mechanism is provided. (Note, as of HP aC++ version A.01.05, this mechanism is no longer the default, although it is available by specifying the +inst_auto command-line option.)
Explicit template instantiation (defined by the draft standard) is supported.
Application thread-safe exception handling in shared libraries is supported.
Inline functions are aggressively inlined.
Standards based features include the following:
- keywords: bool, dynamic_cast, explicit, mutable, typeid, typename, volatile, wchar_t
- class: type_info
- explicit template instantiation
- overloading new and delete for arrays
- standard exception classes
The following libraries are provided:
- Rogue Wave Standard C++ Library Version 1.2.0, includes STL (updated at HP aC++ Version A.01.07 to library version 1.2.1)
- Rogue Wave Tools.h++ Version 7.0.2 Foundation Class Library (updated at HP aC++ Version A.01.07 to library version 7.0.6)
- cfront compatible Iostream Library
- Standard Components Library (obsolete)
Extensive online documentation is provided. Refer to Chapter 3 of these release notes.
+DA designations for PA-RISC 2.0 model and processor numbers — to generate code for the PA-RISC 2.0 systems. The +DAportable option will generate code compatible across PA-RISC 1.1 and 2.0 workstations and servers.
Default architecture object code generation is now determined automatically for all systems as that of the machine on which you compile.
+DS designations for PA-RISC 2.0 model and processor numbers -- to perform instruction scheduling tuned for PA-RISC 2.0 systems.
Default instruction scheduling is now determined automatically for all systems as that of the machine on which you compile, or on the setting of +DA, if it is specified.
option -l:<library> — to support the ld feature.
+ESfic option -- to replace millicode calls with inline code for fast indirect calls.
64-bit integral data types (long long and unsigned long long) are supported for HP aC++ applications needing large integers, such as large file system databases. Use the -ext command line option to specify.
HP aC++ features are supported by the HP Distributed Debugging Environment (DDE).
The +help option invokes online help for the HP aC++ compiler and linker and libraries.
