> It supports AMODE 31

The cited blog says "generates AMODE 64 code."

Is there any actual documentation, or am I being old-fashioned?

Subject: New IBM Open C++ compiler

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.
