C is a programming langage developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in early 70s for software running on Unix. VSI C is a standard conforming implementation of the C programming language with VSI extensions. The VSI C compiler runs under the OpenVMS Alpha and I64 Operating Systems and generates optimized and position-independent code.
VSI C is a native-mode language product, and is integrated into the Common Language Environments. All OpenVMS system services are available to programs written in VSI C. VSI C programs can invoke, as functions, modules written in other languages.
VSI C Features
VSI C features include:
- support for RMS sequential files and associated access methods in addition to stream file-access methods
- standard-conformance checking, optional code-quality and portability diagnostics, linter features of VSI Source Code Analyzer
- complete debug and traceback records for use with OpenVMS Debugger
- IEEE 754 floating-point support
- support for installing several C versions on the same node
- separate modes of compulation to support each of the six C dialects (strict ANSI89, strict C99, relaxed ASI, common, Microsoft compatibility mode)\
- data types for numeric, nonnumeric, and systems programming etc. (for more features, see VSI C for OpenVMS Software Product Description)
Licensing
A software license is required in order to use the VSI C software product.
- For Integrity servers, the license is a Concurrent Use license. Version update licenses are not available for the Integrity servers platform. Rights to use future revisions of VSI C are available only through a Support
Agreement or through a new license purchase.
- For AlphaServer systems, the license to use VSI C is included in the ALPHA-LP license.
