XL C/C++ includes the following new features to help you more easily use the compiler for your application development.
This release of XL C/C++ introduces the xlc_install and new_install utilities to help you easily install and configure the compiler for initial use on your system.
IBM Tivoli License Manager (ITLM) is a Web-based solution that can help you manage software usage metering and license allocation services on supported systems. In general, ITLM recognizes and monitors the products that are installed and in use on your system.
IBM XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V8.0 for Linux is ITLM-enabled for inventory and usage signature support, which means that ITLM is able to detect both product installation of XL C/C++ and its usage.
Once installed and activated, ITLM scans your system for product inventory signatures that indicate whether a given product is installed on your system. ITLM also identifies that product's version, release, and modification levels. Signature files for XL C/C++ are installed to the following directory:
- Default installations
- /opt/ibmcmp/vac/8.0
- Non-default installations
- compiler/vac/8.0 where compiler is the target directory for installation specified by the --prefix installation option.
