Display of BLF-Data

Interactive Analysis of a batch dump: Content of BLF data online shown in dump format. Info from compile listing is not used (as in Working-Storage).

Port patch https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PI41717 from zOS for IBM i

Please port the patch https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PI41717 which is for zOS to IBM i, the same error exists in the sources of the IBM i hash function.

FA Eclipse: Divide Storage Areas into Working-Storage and Linkage

Under Event details --> Event 1/2/3/... there is an item called "Storage Areas" - this should be divided for COBOL into Working-Storage and Linkage. This division should be shown in the outline view as well.

Flexible Alignment Storage Display

Currently FA aligns its storage display at starting addresses which are multiples of 16. This is often unconvenient: Sometimes application data is not properly aligned: - address pointers not on word boundery are not point-and-shootable - bad alig...

Better Support of WMQ-Applications

Currently Fault Analyzer does not properly recognize that an abending Batch-Job or CICS transaction is connected to Websphere MQ. In these cases FA does not show any information related to MQ and last MQ-API calls.This flaw seems to arise when the...

Enhance constant propagation

The optimizer should take advantage of constantness of variables and propagate their values into generated instructions.

Enhance compiler optimizer

The compiler should generate more efficient code for testing bitfields when the bits tested are located in the same byte.

inline ASM DS incorrect load for long long

With inline ASM to initialize a long long variable using an ASM DS instruction in 31-bit mode, the compiler is only generating an 'L' instruction, which does not load the full 64-bit register representing the long long variable: unsigned long long...

Insufficient inlining for function pointers

The compiler is currently unable to inline a function that is passed to another function as a function pointer parameter. As a result trivial functions may not be inlined when called using a function pointers.

Enabling the IBM LinuxONE and IBM Power 10 ( or later ) C/C++ Compilers to integrate with Intel oneAPI

Intel oneAPI is an open, cross-architecture programming model that frees developers to use a single code base across multiple architectures. The result is accelerated compute without vendor lock-in. for more information : https://www.intel.com/con...
