Use the +help option on the CC command line.

Click the "?" icon on the HP CDE front panel. Then select the HP C++ icon.

Execute the dthelpview command in /usr/dt/bin:

/usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -h /opt/CC/dt/appconfig/help/C/CXX.sdl

If your HP compiler is installed on another system or your system is not running HP CDE, this command may be useful.

HP-DDE Debugger Online Help

Refer to the discussion on basic-style (not advanced-style) debugging of optimized code in the HP/DDE debugger online help.

To access the HP C++ Online Programmer's Guide, use the command:

CC +help

To access the HP Linker and Libraries Online User Guide use the command:

ld +help

The HP Linker and Libraries Online User Guide online guide replaces the manual Programming on HP-UX.

	NOTE: Users with character-based terminals or terminal emulators can use the charhelp program to view or print the online help provided for C++ and the linker. To start charhelp enter the full pathname (or just charhelp if /opt/langtools/bin is in your $PATH environment variable), and you will get a usage statement: $ /opt/langtools/bin/charhelp charhelp: Usage: charhelp {cc | CC | f77 | ld | -helpVolume file} For help with C++, for example, enter charhelp CC and follow the menus for further direction. For more information, see the man page for charhelp(1) (/opt/langtools/share/man/man1.Z must be in your $MANPATH environment variable).

If the +help option does not work, ensure the environment variable DTHELPSEARCHPATH is set. (It may not be set if you rlogin to a system, for example.) If it is not set, use the following command to set it:

eval $(dtsearchpath)

Ensure the LANG environment variable is set, typically LANG=C.

As a workaround, you can view the linker online help using the ? icon on the HP CDE front panel or by using one of the following commands:

/usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -helpVolume linker

or

/usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -h /opt/langtools/lib/linker/dt/appconfig/help/C/linker.sdl

HP C++ Templates Technical Addendum describes template implementation in HP C++. You can access the addendum from within the HP C++ Online Programmer's Guide. It is also available in the postscript file, /opt/CC/newconfig/TecDocs/templates.ps and in the ASCII file, /opt/CC/newconfig/TecDocs/templates.ascii.

HP C++ Troubleshooting Notes focuses on methods of diagnosing and solving problems you may encounter. It contains a "troubleshooting matrix" and a list of tools available online in the /opt/CC/contrib/Tools directory.

The document is available online in the postscript file, /opt/CC/newconfig/TecDocs/tools.ps, and in the ASCII file, /opt/CC/newconfig/TecDocs/tools.ascii. You can access the ASCII file from within the HP C++ Online Programmer's Guide.

HP C++ Release Notes is this document. The online ASCII file can be found in /opt/CC/newconfig/RelNotes/CXX.release.notes.

The HP PA-RISC Compiler Optimization Technology White Paper describes the benefits of using optimization. It is available in the postscript file, /opt/langtools/newconfig/white_papers/optimize.ps.

Online manual pages for CC, c++filt, nm++, gprof++, and the standard libraries (stream, task, complex, codelibs, and standard components) are provided under /opt/CC/share/man.
