DBB compatibility with C/C++ source management

[FALLAI-Denis]

Hi,

Would DBB be able to process C/C++ sources?
I'm thinking in particular of scanners that analyze dependencies.

Have any DBB customers already implemented build procedures for C/C++ programs and could provide us with examples?

Thanks.

PS :
I think I have the answer to my question 😊

But to see if there is a minimum required version of DBB to manage C/C++ programs.

Hi, It is DBB V3.0.2. You may be interested in this blog as well https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/nelson-lopez/2025/07/04/building-zos-c-programs-with-vs-code-test

We are in DBB 2.0.0 and zAppbuild 3.0.0…
I think C language scanner is mandatory to identify dependencies… does DBB 2.0.0 own this language scanner ?

zAppbuild is not a problem but upgrading DBB is a challenge.

Yes, the scanners are available - see the DependencyScannerRegistry
