Introduction to HP C
1 Introduction to HP C
HP C is Hewlett-Packard's version of the C programming language that is implemented on
the HP 9000 Series 700/800 computers and the HP 3000 Series 900 computers. This
manual discusses the HP 9000 Series 700/800 product. HP C is highly compatible with the
C compiler implemented on the HP 9000 Series 300/400 and CCS/C, Corporate Computer
Systems C compiler for the HP 3000. Some system and hardware-specific differences do
exist. These are documented in the HP C Reference Manual for your system. Also, Chapter
2 of this manual, "Storage and Alignment Comparisons," provides system-specific
information.
