I think std::string is pretty much identical across gcc, MS VC++, and XLC++.

The biggest problem is that Java programmers commonly write poor performing applications that are bogged down with huge, expensive libraries and frameworks. The same can be said for huge Java applications servers. Java makes it easy to use and resuse literally thousands of Java libraries, but it also makes it easy to use lots of CPU resources. But it doesn't have to be that way, and the Java Languages and SDK/JVM are not to blame. Programmers need to not only know how to use a library, but when to use it, and what the cost trade-offs are. I also don't understand your comments about C, can you elaborate? The z/OS C documentation is quite good I think. A good C programmer with knowledge of z/OS facilities (especially LE) can succeed with the IBM tools, which include debuggers, profilers, assembler listings, etc, etc. Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 5:15 PM, Scott Ford <scott_j_f...@yahoo.com> wrote: > John, > > With what heard about the Java performance hit, it's relativity a slow > performer. > What I see of C it's ok but, the documentation, good examples are lacking. > The data types especial strings with z/os bring different than > Unix....I know these languages are evolving, my comments are negative > criticisms of IBM. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
