Support for __ptr64 qualifier in LE C

LE C compiler should support the __ptr64 qualifier for 64-bit pointers in 31-bit (or 64-bit) code, as it does for Metal C. Furthermore, EDCDSECT should convert a 64-bit addresses (declared as "AD") to "void * __ptr64", for consistency.

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...

Adding IBM Deep search with ChatGPT Codex (or IBM Coding Services) by AI driven Coding training and inference ( can be Human Supervised)

Using IBM Deep search with Coding services will train the AI System for Optimized code and it will make the software development more efficient in coding, testing, tracking and debugging. Also may be add the AI driven DevOps Orchestration

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...

Have C compile optionally use non deprecated instruction BALR and use BASR

Today if I want to call an assembler program from C it uses BALR. This is deprecated, and I need special code to support it. The compiler needs an option to say "use Branch and save (BASR) instead of BALR"

Exception Object Enhance

Exception handle is an important mechanism to help programmers debug their programs. Many of the literature books mention the use of this mechanism to increase the quality of the application. Although C11/C14 has no longer recommend the use of the...

Provide I18N/L10N gettext APIs for XL/C on z/OS

A system level, common, industry standard, platform independent, service is needed to perform internationalization/localization translation services on text strings when running on z/OS. This is needed for both applications compiled to use Languag...
