XL C/C++ compiler setting to disallow vector (VMX/VSX) instructions

Request for the compiler to support code generation consistent with an AIX tuning of allow_vmx=0. The AIX tuning rejects all vector instructions, treating them as illegal operations. The compiler should have a corresponding option to completely di...

Make SA messages or at least message help, more operator friendly. In this case I refer specifically to threshold messages.

Some SA messages tend to be cryptic for the operator. One of two things occur when the message and/or online help is not detailed enough.1. Emails are sent to the operators to update their documentation to explain what to do, which is redundant wi...

Behaviour of comma operator in C++

We use multiple C and C++ compilers, including IBM XL C/C++ for AIX V11.1.0.18. XL C++ appears to treat comma expressions differently depending if they are an argument to a return statement or a function or if they are used elsewhere. This behavio...
