Commonality with other IBM compilers

IBM® XL C/C++ for Linux®, V11.1 is part of a larger family of IBM C, C++, and Fortran compilers.

XL C/C++, together with XL Fortran, comprise the family of XL compilers.

These compilers are derived from a common code base that shares compiler function and optimization technologies for a variety of platforms and programming languages. Programming environments include IBM AIX®, IBM Blue Gene®/L™, IBM Blue Gene®/P™, the Cell Broadband Engine™ architecture, IBM i, selected Linux distributions, IBM z/OS®, and IBM z/VM®. The common code base, along with compliance with international programming language standards, helps support consistent compiler performance and ease of program portability across multiple operating systems and hardware platforms.
