For OpenVMS Alpha systems, the only RTL compo-
nent that may be redistributed is DECC$CRTL.OLB.
Refer to the HP C V7.1 for OpenVMS Alpha Release
Notes for instructions on redistributing this RTL compo-
nent. For OpenVMS VAX systems, the only RTL compo-
nents that may be redistributed are DECC$CRTL.OLB
and AACRT060.A. Refer to the HP C V6.4 for Open-
VMS VAX Release Notes for instructions on redistribut-
ing these RTL components.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Processors Supported:
Any Integrity system capable of running the OpenVMS
Operating System Version 8.2 or higher, any Alpha sys-
tem capable of running the OpenVMS Alpha Operating
System Version 7.3-2 or higher, or any VAX capable of
running the OpenVMS Operating System Version 5.5-2
to 7.3.
Refer to the OpenVMS Operating System’s Software
Product Description (SPD 82.35.xx or 25.01.xx) for de-
tails.
The following table shows disk space requirements for
installation of HP C for OpenVMS. These numbers re-
flect choosing all of the default installation options. Sep-
arate entries are shown for also installing the optional
document sets in postscript, text, and html formats.
Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):
HP C OpenVMS VAX HP C OpenVMS
Alpha
For installation
(without docs):
100,000 blks (50MB) 150,000 blks (75MB)
For installation (with
docs):
180,000 blks (90MB) 250,000 blks (125MB)
For permanent use
(without docs):
80,000 blks (40MB) 100,000 blks (50MB)
For permanent use
(with docs):
120,000 blks (60MB) 160,000 blks (80MB)
These counts refer to the disk space required on the
system disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes
may vary depending on the user’s system environment,
configuration, and software options.
Memory Requirements for DECwindows Support:
The minimum supported memory for this application
running in a standalone DECwindows environment with
both the client and server executing on that same sys-
tem is 8 Mbytes.
OPTIONAL HARDWARE
On VAX systems, only D_, F_, and G_Floating floating-
point data types can be used in programs written in HP
C, which does not support the H_Floating type. (HP
C on Alpha and I64 systems supports IEEE floating
point types in addition to these VAX types). Floating-
point-intensive applications should be run on configu-
rations with the appropriate hardware support for the
floating-point data types being used. For OpenVMS I64
in particular, note that only the IEEE format has hard-
ware support; the VAX format floating-point types on
OpenVMS I64systems are implemented in software and
incur significant software run-time emulation overhead.
Floating-point code that is performance-critical should
always use the IEEE format on OpenVMS I64. Consult
the base operating system Software Product Descrip-
tion (SPD) for the appropriate floating-point accelera-
tor or other floating-point hardware appropriate for your
configuration.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
• OpenVMS I64 Operating System V8.2 or higher
• OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V7.3-2 or higher
• OpenVMS VAX Operating System, V5.5-2 to V7.3
SOFTWARE LICENSING
A software license is required in order to use HP C
software. For VAX and Alpha platforms, HP C is of-
fered with Concurrent Use, Personal Use and Tradi-
tional ’capacity’ licenses. For I64, it is offered with
Concurrent Use licenses. Version update licenses
are not available for the I64 platform. Rights to use
future revisions of HP C are available only through
a Support Agreement or through a new license pur-
chase. For more information about OpenVMS li-
cense terms and policies, contact your local HP sales
office, or reference the Software Licensing site at:
