A Brief History of C
language
• In the early 1970s, Dennis Ritchie of Bell
Laboratories was engaged in a project to develop
new operating system. C programming language
was then developed.
• In the early 1980's, also at Bell Laboratories,
another C++ language was created. This new
language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup
and was called C++ which was designed with
OOP (Object Oriented Programming) features
added to C without significantly changing the C
component.

Simple C Program
/* Take a number multiply it by 10 and display it */
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int number, result;
printf("Type in a number \n");
scanf("%d", &number);
result = number *10;
printf("The number multiplied by 10 equals %d\n", result);
}
Sample Program Output
Type in a number
23
The number you typed was 23

Simple C++ Program
/* Take a number multiply it by 10 and display it */
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int number;
cout<<"Type in a number \n";
cin>>number;
result = number *10;
cout<<"The number multiplied by 10 equals “<<number;
}
Sample Program Output
Type in a number
23
The number you typed was 23

A detailed look into Compilers
and Compiling commands
• C/C++ Compilers at UM/MCSR:
– Intel C++ Compiler on redwood
– MIPS C, MIPSpro C, and MIPSpro C++
version 7.4 compilers on Origin 2800
sweetgum
– Portland Group, GNU, and MPICH
Compilers on Beowulf Cluster mimosa
– GNU C Compiler and SUN STUDIO 8
C/C++ Compilers on willow

Intel C++ Compiler on redwood
• Intel C/C++ Compilers(7.1, 8.0, 9.0 and
9.1)
– Before using the C/C++ Compiler on redwood,
you must first load the appropriate Intel
compiler module.
– Then, to compile:
• icc example.c if using the 8.0, 9.0, or 9.1
compiler
• ecc example.c if using the 7.1 compiler.
• With Intel compilers, the invocation syntax
is the same regardless of whether your
source file is C or C++.
9
Loading the appropriate Intel
Compiler Module
•
Several versions/builds of Intel compilers are available on redwood. To
compile, you must first pick which compiler version module you want to
load, then load it. Before you can use the module command, you must
source the correct setup file for your shell.
– . /usr/share/modules/init/sh (if using ssh) (There should be a space between .
and /opt)
•
Then you use the module command:
•
For example, to load the latest 9.1 version of the C Compilers:
•
These are the names of the modules and the compiler versions they
correspond to:
–
–
–
–
module
module
module
module
list (to see if any other versions of compiler modules are loaded)
purge (to unload any other versions of compiler modules)
list (to verify that other versions were successfully unloaded)
avail (to see what versions of compiler modules are available to load)
– module load c91
– module list

Source the appropriate modules environment script for your shell:
Use “module avail” to see which modules are available
Load one of the 9.X modules
Compile/execute the hello.c and addtwo.cpp
Clear all loaded modules

Frequently Asked ?’s on C/C++
Willow

3.
4.
How can I compile one or more C/C++ source
files into object files without yet linking into an
executable program?
How can I ensure the compiler will find a
C/C++ header file referenced by my program?
How can I ensure the compiler will find a precompiled module referenced by my program
but residing in a system- or user-defined
archive library?
How can I add my own module to a library
archive for others on the system to re-use?

How to run compiled files
• The compiling commands create an
executable file known as a.out unless
specified otherwise.
• To execute your program, type
./a.out and press Enter.
19
C/C++ source files suffixes
• .cpp, .cc, .c suffixes are used for C++
programs that are to be preprocessed,
compiled and assembled
• .c for C programs that are to be
processed, compiled and assembled
• .h or preprocessor (header) files
20
File Structure
• Implementation files (.cpp, .cc, .c)
– Methods are implemented
• Interface files (.h)
– Methods and classes are defined
– Also called header files
• Implementation files depend on Interface
files.
– Interface holds prototypes and definitions
– Implementation holds actual code
