This release includes comprehensive documentation for the Version 6.3 compiler and Standard Library, which together offer a nearly complete implementation of the C++ International Standard.

Using Compaq C++ for OpenVMS Alpha explains how to develop and debug Compaq C++ programs and provides information about OpenVMS features and tools that work with the compiler.

The manual dedicates a chapter to the C++ Standard Library. Two Standard Library components, locales and iostreams, are further described in the following documents:

Standard Library Locales (PDF)
Standard Library Stream Input/Output (PDF)
