TITLE: Compaq C++ CXXE01056 Compaq C++ V5.6C for OpenVMS VAX ECO Summary
 
Modification Date:  11-JUL-2000
Modification Type:  New Kit

NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi.  The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for Compaq C++ V5.6C on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through
V7.2-1.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  A memory leak was fixed in the exceptions support package 
     which would leak per-thread memory when exceptions were thrown.

  o  The Compaq C++ V5.6C help file incorrectly pointed the user to
     SYS$HELP:CXX060.RELEASE_NOTES.  This has been corrected to point
     to CXX056.RELEASE_NOTES.

  o  Unintentional changes were made to the CXXLINK facility in the
     Compaq C++ V5.6C kit.  This ECO kit reverts the CXXLINK facility
     back to the V5.6 CXXLINK.

  o  The kit installation procedure no longer manipulates debugger
     logical names which cause the installation to fail on OpenVMS
     VAX V7.2 systems.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if the system is a member of a VMScluster, the other cluster
members should be rebooted or this kit should be installed on each 
system in order to make use of the new image(s).
