Hi,

I did not try to replace the macros, yet. I will try this that evening,
together with running the unit tests, as this is more time consuming.

For the macro expansion, we have the following:

1. AIX compiler

IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V12.1 (5765-J02, 5725-C72)
Version: 12.01.0000.0004

"__xlC__" = 0x0c01
"__xlC_ver__" = 0x00000004
"__IBMC__" = __IBMC__
"__IBMCPP__" = 1210
"__COMPILER_VER__" = __COMPILER_VER__
"__MVS__" = __MVS__
2. z/OS Compiler

z/OS V1.13 XL C/C++
"__xlC__" = __xlC__
"__xlC_ver__" = __xlC_ver__
"__IBMC__" = __IBMC__
"__IBMCPP__" = 41130
"__COMPILER_VER__" = 0x410D0000
"__MVS__" = 1
I exchanged an email with a guy from IBM and they internally use the
__MVS__ macro for differentiation between the two compilers and then
differentiate between the versions in a following step. This is because MVS
was the predecessor of z/OS, so it is easy for mainframe people to see,
that __MVS__ does indeed mean mainframe.

Best regards,
Kilian.
