Implementation Dependencies Overview

The behavior of some features of the C language depends on the particular C compiler used. This and related pages describe these IBM C/C++ Compilers implementation-specific dependencies.

• IBM C/C++ Compilers Compiler Limits
• Implementation Defined Behavior
• Type Conversions
• Synchronization of Stores and Loads to I/O Space

Note: Compiling your programs with IBM C/C++ Compilers
IBM C/C++ Compilers is a stricter compiler than the XL C compiler. See IBM C/C++ Compilers and XL C Compatibility, which discusses the issues you should consider if you plan to use your XL C programs with IBM C/C++ Compilers.
