Several forms of VisualAge C++ compiler invocation commands support various version levels of the C and C++ languages. Normally, you should use the xlc command to compile your C source files and the xlC command to compile your C++ source files. You can, however, use other forms of the command if your particular environment and file systems require it. The various compiler invocation commands are:

The four basic compiler invocation commands appear as the first entry of each line in the table above. Select a basic invocation using the following criteria:
xlC |
Invokes the compiler so that source files are compiled as C++ language
source code. Files with .c suffixes, assuming you have not used the -+ compiler option, are compiled as C language source code with a default language level of ansi, and compiler option -qansialias to allow type-based aliasing. If any of your source files are C++, you must use this invocation to link with the correct runtime libraries. |
xlc |
Invokes the compiler for C source files with a default language level of ansi, and compiler option -qansialias to allow type-based aliasing. |
cc |
Invokes the compiler for C or C++ source files with a default language level of extended and compiler options -qnoro and -qnoroconst (to provide compatibility with the RT compiler and placement of string literals or constant values in read/write storage). Use this invocation for legacy C code that does not require compliance with ANSI C. |
c89 |
Invokes the compiler for C or C++ source files, with a default language
level of ansi, and specifies compiler options -qansialias (to allow type based aliasing) and -qnolonglong (disabling use of long long),
and sets -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE (for ANSI-conformant headers).
Use this invocation for strict conformance to the ANSI standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1990). |
IBM VisualAge C++ provides variations on the four basic batch compiler invocations. These variations are described below:
| 128-suffixed Invocations | All 128-suffixed invocation commands are functionally similar to their corresponding base compiler invocations. They specify the -qldbl128 option, which increases the length of long double types in your program from 64 to 128 bits. They also link with the 128 versions of the C and C++ runtimes. |
| _r-suffixed Invocations | All _r-suffixed invocations additionally set the macro
names -D_THREAD_SAFE and add the
libraries -L/usr/lib/threads, -lc_r and -lpthreads. The compiler
option -qthreaded is also added. Use these commands if you want to create Posix threaded
applications. AIX 4.1 and 4.2 support Posix Draft 7. AIX 4.3 supports Draft 10. The _r7 invocations are provided on AIX 4.3 to help with migration to Draft 10. See -qthreaded for additional information. The _r4 invocations should be used for DCE threaded applications. |
Migrating AIX Version 3.2.5 DCE Applications to AIX Version 4.1
The main invocation commands (except c89) have additional _r4-suffixed
forms. These forms provide compatibility between DCE applications written for AIX Version
3.2.5 and AIX Version 4. They link your application to the correct AIX Version 4 DCE
libraries, providing compatibility between the latest version of the pthreads library and
the earlier versions supported on AIX Version 3.2.5.
