I just heard a rumor that HP's SoftBench software will not work with the HP-UX
7.0 ANSI C compiler. Anyone from HP care to comment on this ?

Since no one has commented on this: No, I have not heard of any problems using ANSI C and SoftBench. SoftStatic, SoftEdit and SoftDebug continue to work fine, whether compiling in ANSI mode or K&R mode. SoftBuild uses K&R mode (the default mode) for building C files: if you have ANSI stuff (like prototypes), you should be specifying -Aa in the options field (or bury it permanently in the makefile). Oh, and once again: ANSI C is currently available only on the series 800 machines for HP-UX 7.0. The series 300 ANSI C compiler will be released soon after the release of HP-UX 7.0. ----- Shankar Unni E-Mail: Hewlett-Packard California Language Lab.

Sorry for not responding for so long - I have a hard time keeping up with notes! Here's the scoop on SoftBench 1.0 and ANSI C support. On the Series 800: ANSI C works fine. ANSI C support was included in 7.0 and SoftBench 1.0 is based on 7.0. We were able to ensure that static analysis and the debugger work with the 7.0 version. On the Series 300: ANSI C is not supported. The reason for this is that the ANSI C package, which includes a new compiler, debugger, and other tools, was released after SoftBench 1.0 began shipping. SoftBench has very strong dependencies on the compilers and debuggers. ANSI C support is expected to be available when SoftBench is released on HP-UX 8.0.
