Hi Tom, To be perfectly honest with you, you're getting into some of the details that we're in the process of working out. In general, we intend to support compiling source files in different code pages and allow users to create ASCII and EBCDIC programs with string/char literals in multiple code pages.

To answer your specific questions, our current clang-based compilers do not support #pragma filetag or #pragma convlit. We do however have support for #pragma convert.

Our intention is to commit all of this upstream, subject of course to discussion and review with the community.

We'll be sending an RFC to the dev lists when we are ready to start upstreaming our work. That RFC can include some more details about some of these features.

Thanks,

Kit

Hi Kit. I'm curious about the support for Clang on z/OS and, in particular, support for EBCDIC based source files and run-time interaction with the OS. Would you be able to describe what features IBM has added (or will be adding) along those lines? Will the z/OS enhanced ASCII functionality <https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bpxb200/uenha.htm> be supported? How about xlC's enhanced ASCII <https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.cbcux01/ascii.htm> support? Or #pragma filetag <https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.cbcpx01/fltg.htm>? Or #pragma convlit <https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.cbcux01/convlit.htm>? Does IBM plan to contribute changes for these features back to the community?

This sounds like a positive direction! Tom. (apologies if this message is received twice, my mail client is acting up).

IBM announced this morning our intention to migrate our existing XL C/C++ and Fortran compilers to adopt the LLVM infrastructure. This will include both front-end (Clang) and back-end optimizations and code generation.
