Document and support #pragma once in both C/C++

The z/OS C++ compiler supports the #pragma once directive. This is undocumented and not supported for the C language. This feature should be documented and supported for both the C and C++ languages.

#line directive causing source to not be intermixed in ASM listing

Sometimes C source code is embedded within generated pseudo assembly listings via the LIST option, like: 00012E 50D0 E004 000008 | ST r13,4(,r14)000132 18DE 000008 | LR r13,r14000134 End of Prolog 000009 | * { 000010 | * return foo();000134 58F0 3...

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...

FORTRAN V2.6 for z/OS - Add Compiler Option to Force Explicit Variable Declarations

The Fortran compiler for z/OS does not have a compiler option to force all variables to be explicitly declared. Instead each and every program has to be coded with an IMPLICIT NONE statement. We would like a compiler option to force this instead o...

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...

Long compile time with -qsmp=omp for non-openmp files

XLC enforces -qhot optimization steps with -qsmp=omp option even for non-OMP source files, making the compile time unnecessarily long for such cases. The -qsmp=omp compile time issue becomes a dramatic problem because in user's makefile, the optio...

DB2 & CICS coprocessors do not provide enough debug information

To convert to co-processors we need to have the CICS and DB2 listings or something equivalent. We always print the first page of the DB2 and CICS pre-processor listingbecause they tell the applications the verson of DB2 the program was compiled us...

Provide some 64-bit compiler intrinsics when compiling 32-bit on a 64- bit architecture

The xlC compiler supplies (many) intrinsics that be used in lieu of assembly. Some of these intrinsic work on 32-bit words, and some on 64- bit double-words. (There are many others, but our interest here is 32- bit and 64-bit). __lwarx() load-word...
