This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

IBM XL C/C++ for AIX is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment.
Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver it longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time. The requirement will be kept in our internal RFE backlog and might be reassessed in the future.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - C/C++ Compilers
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - C/C++ Compilers
This RFE will be planned for a future release.
This RFE is planned to be in a future release.
Thanks for the reply. We are still evaluating this RFE. We shall let you know if we have any further questions.
To answer the question: Yes, we want to atomically update a 64-bit value
in 32-bit mode, when on 64-bit architecture, as when we compile with
the '-qarch=pwr5' compiler option.
Also, answering an earlier question, we think that performance should
not be any slower when compiled 32-bit compared to compiled 64-bit as
long as the underlying hardware is 64-bit (again, e.g for pwr5).
Hi, we need more information regarding your usage case for the request.
Are you wanting to atomically update a 64-bit value in 32-bit mode ?
Can you please provide more details? Thanks.
We are continuing to evaluate this RFE.
