HPE C for VSI OpenVMS

HPE C (formerly Compaq C) is a standard conforming implementation of the C programming language with HPE extensions. HPE 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 HPE C. HPE C programs can invoke, as functions, modules written in other languages.

HPE C supports Record Management Services (RMS) for sequential file organizations and associated access methods. HPE C also supports stream file-access methods common among many C implementations.

HPE C provides extensive standard-conformance checking, as well as many optional code-quality and portability diagnostics, and supports the lint-like features of the HPE Source Code Analyzer. The HPE Source Code Analyzer allows the programmer to check for consistent function usage throughout a program environment. HPE C also generates complete debug and traceback records for use with OpenVMS Debug. Debug allows the C programmer to set breakpoints, examine and modify the contents of user variables, and selectively halt or continue program execution.
