___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: DIGITAL C++ Version 6.1 for Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX SPD 41.91.12 DESCRIPTION DIGITAL C++ for Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX[R] (formerly DEC C++ for DIG- ITAL UNIX Systems) offers a complete C++ development environment based on a robust implementation of most elements of the Final Draft Inter- national ANSI C++ Standard (FDIS). DIGITAL C++ used along with the De- velopers' Toolkit for DIGITAL UNIX and DEC FUSE offers application de- velopers a complete C++ development environment. DIGITAL C++ includes: o The native DIGITAL C++ compiler, which implements most elements of the FDIS. DIGITAL C++ includes support for automatic instantiation of templates, precompiled headers, and C++ exception handling. DIG- ITAL C++ for Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX generates optimized object code without employing an intermediate translation to C. o The highly optimizing, reliable Alpha code generator for speed of generated code. o The C++ Standard Library, including the string library, numeric_ limits, auto_ptr, standard exception classes, complex math library, and the Standard Template Library (STL). Portions of the C++ Stan- dard Library have been implemented using source licensed from and copyrighted by Rogue Wave Software, Inc. o DEC C++ Class Library, containing the following packages: iostream, complex, generic, Messages, Objection, Stopwatch, String, task, and vector. The Class Library is threadsafe and also contains a Mutex package. o Features to facilitate porting to DIGITAL C++ from other non-standard ANSI/ISO C++ implementations. There are 3 options available: an op- tion that relaxes error checking for compatibility with C++ com- pilers based on the AT&T "cfront" translator; a second option that provides compatibility with Microsoft's Visual C++(TM); and a third October 1998 DIGITAL C++ Version 6.1 for Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX SPD 41.91.12 option that provides compatiblility with C++ language as defined by the Annotated C++ Reference Manual (ARM). o A tool to decode compiler-generated names, that enables other tools (besides the compiler and debugger) to present these decoded names to the user. Application developers using DIGITAL C++ are required to purchase a license for the Developers' Toolkit for Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX. This product provides a set of UNIX development tools that include: a sym- bolic source-level debugger (Ladebug), ATOM based performance and anal- ysis tools, program analysis tools (profiling and performance anal- ysis), two ANSI conformant C Compilers (including DEC C for Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX), reordering tools (cord, feedback, and runcord), and the Porting Assistant, which aids in porting to Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX from other UNIX platforms and from OpenVMS Systems. For further informa- tion on these products, please see SPD 44.36. The Ladebug debugger provides basic debugging capabilities as well as specific support for the C++ language, including function name and op- erator overloading, C++ scoping, templates, C++ exception handling, multiple inheritance, virtual base classes, and virtual functions. Both window-based and dbx-style command-line interfaces are provided. C++ debugging on Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX is not supported by dbx, only by Ladebug. Application developers interested in an integrated, graphical, GUI- based, extensible development environment may be interested in pur- chasing licenses for DEC FUSE and the DEC FUSE C++ Support option. For more information, please see SPD 44.71. For more information on the Developers' Toolkit, C Developers' Exten- sions and DEC FUSE, please see the Optional Software section below. DIGITAL C++ supports the Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX features of shared li- braries and 64-bit computing. 2 DIGITAL C++ Version 6.1 for Compaq's DIGITAL UNIX SPD 41.91.12 The DIGITAL C++ documentation provides comprehensive reference and us- age information for all product components.
