Introducing HP C/XL by Bob Fillhouer--Commercial Systems Division AN IMPORTANT ADDITION TO HP NATIVE MODE COMPILERS HP C/XL is the Hewlett-Packard implementation of C for the 900 Series of HP 3000 systems. It is a general-purpose programming language that provides the convenience and portability of a high-level language with the flexibility and efficiency of assembly language. C is widely used for both systems-level and applications-level programming. And due to its portable nature, C is regarded as an excellent vehicle for transporting applications between systems. HP C/XL is compatible with: the Corporate Computer Systems (CCS) CCS/C 3000* (for MPE V-based systems); the CCS C compiler for the HP 1000; and the Hewlett-Packard C compiler for the HP 9000 Series 300, 500, and 800. HP C/XL includes the powerful and portable C library, which allows string handling, dynamic storage allocation, file manipulation, and format conversion. In addition, the C language offers an excellent migration path for SPL/3000 code. The compatibility between CCS/C 3000 for MPE V, and HP C for MPE XL, allows the SPL user to migrate code to C on MPE V and then port that code to MPE XL in the future. Increased Programmer Productivity The HP Symbolic Debugger/XL is a powerful, full featured debugger for HP C/XL users, which allows debugging at both the source and assembly language levels. In addition to HP C/XL, HP Symbolic Debugger/XL supports debugging of programs written in FORTRAN, Pascal, and any combination of these languages. Availability HP C/XL is available at System Release as an individual product (P/N 31506A/R) or with the HP Symbolic Debugger/XL in the HP C/XL Developer's Package (P/N 31507A). --------------- *CCS CØCompilers are marketed and supported by Corporate Computer Systems Inc., 33 West Main St., Holmdel, New Jersey 07733 Tel.
