HP-UX 11i v3 September 2011 Release Notes, Edition 2

• UNIX 2003 Standard Profile Conformance: New functions and compiler conformance as
defined in Single UNIX Specification version 3. The Precision Architecture (PA) systems have
most of the UNIX 2003 features available for applications. Since the C99 compiler will not
be available on PA, full UNIX 2003 branding is not supported. Itanium®-based systems fully
conform and are branded to UNIX 2003.
• Unwind Library (libunwind): Updated to version 1.48. Performance of the unwind express
APIs has been improved substantially; U_STACK_TRACE(3X) and _UNW_STACK_TRACE(3X)
APIs have been enhanced; new APIs have been added to the unwind express portion of the
library.
