The new clang/LLVM C/C++ compiler has been announced
https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/robert-barrington1/2022/04/05/next-generation-of-ibm-cc-and-fortran-compilers-av.
I suppose it was wishful thinking to expect it to be free as IBM have
commit a lot of resources to making it happen. It's only available to
customers who have a license for the XL C/C++ compiler. If you use C/C++
I highly recommend this compiler. It's modern supporting all the latest
language standards and is a significant improvement on the
xlclang/xlclang++ compilers previously shipped. It supports AMODE 31 for
interop with legacy code whereas xlclang was 64-bit only.
If you are interested in a free C/C++ compiler then Rocket have open
sourced their gcc/glibc z/OS port. It's a cross compiler so you build on
a Linux or Windows machine. AFAIK, glibc is fairly complete but is
missing pthreads.
