Patches for Sun Studio 12 Update 1

Dear all,
I have recently installed Sun Studio 12 Update 1 on an x86 system and have some questions pertaining to the required patches. According to my understanding of the text on the homepage for SS12U1 (http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/ss12u1_patches.jsp) it should be possible to download these also without a service contract, but this does not seem to be possible. The SunOS 5.10_x86: Microtasking libraries (libmtsk) patch 120754-6 distributed with the SS12U1 does not seem to be sufficient for 64-bit OpenMP programs. For correct functionality of the compiler patch 120754-7 appears to be needed.
My question thus is if it should be possible to access the required Sun Studio 12 Update 1 patches without a service contract?
Any help regarding this is highly appreciated.

Tthe recent lockdown of all patches by Oracle, making them available only under a support contract, makes the issue of Sun Studio 12.1 patches discussed here quite important. If 120754-07 is required for proper SS12.1 functionality, then users without support contracts must not upgrade their systems to more recent Solaris versions, as SS12.1 will have to be re-installed, and the 07 patch will be unavailable. When will SS12.2 or SS13 (?) be released? If Oracle really wants to make some money, they will never release any further SS updates, thus requiring customers to buy contracts to get the darn patch.
Check these prices for SS support contracts:
Sun Studio 12 Update 1 Standard Sun Software Service Plan 1-year
$1,015.00
Sun Studio 12 Update 1 Premium Sun Software Service Plan 1-year
$1,218.00

How to report bugs for Sun Studio 12 update 1?

I want to report a bug for the Sun Studio 12u1 C compiler, but bugreport.sun.com doesn't know about Sun Studio 12u1. The latest release know is SS12.
Furthermore, the form doesn't allow to attach additional files, e.g. sources and other information needed to reproduce the problem.
Since we have a valid service support contract with Sun, I used the official channel via the member support center, on January 15. Now, one month later, there is still no answer - and searching the databases both on sunsolve and bugreport.sun.com show, that my report hasn't gotten that far, yet.
I really like Sun Studio, and I use it both for research and education, but reporting issues is really a problem. This somehow spoils the fun, both for the end users and the developers of a really great product!
So the big question is: What is the best and quickest way to get bugs reported?
Regards,
Bernd

If you have a support contract, the best way is to report via official channel; this is the only way to ensure that the bug is fixed in a patch for already released product. The fact that you can't find your report on sunsolve and bugreport.sun.com does not mean anything: not all bugs are public for obvious reasons.
I think you should request an update via the same official channel; if you get nothing in a reasonable time (a day, I think), please report back here, we'll try to find out what's going on.

What Sun Studio 12 patches are included in Sun Studio 12 Update 1?

I can't seem to find a bug list or patch list for Sun Studio 12 Update 1. Can someone provide a link or list of what was fixed?
Secondary, how do I know I have Sun Studio 12 Update 1 installed? Does CC -V say 5.9.1?
-kto

I'm not sure about your bug list or patch list question, but on your second question you can use the "version" command.
Just point it at the Sun Studio component you want to check. So for the CC compiler :
% version sunstudio12.1/bin/CC
version of "sunstudio12.1/bin/CC": Sun C++ 5.10 SunOS_sparc 2009/05/02
You can also just type "version" and that will list all the
components of the Sun Studio that are in your PATH, like so :
% version
Machine hardware: i86pc
OS version: 5.10
Processor type: i386
Hardware: i86pc
The following components are installed on your system:
Sun Studio 12 update 1
Sun Studio 12 update 1 C Compiler
Sun Studio 12 update 1 C++ Compiler
Sun Studio 12 update 1 Tools.h++ 7.1
Sun Studio 12 update 1 C++ Standard 64-bit Class Library
Sun Studio 12 update 1 Garbage Collector
Sun Studio 12 update 1 Fortran 95
Sun Studio 12 update 1 Debugging Tools (including dbx)
Sun Studio 12 update 1 IDE
Sun Studio 12 update 1 Performance Analyzer (including collect, ...)
Sun Studio 12 update 1 Performance Library
Sun Studio 12 update 1 Scalapack
Sun Studio 12 update 1 LockLint

Twice decrease in size of Sun Studio 12 Update 1 in cmp-on to Sun Studio 12

Recently I have downloaded Sun Studio 12 Update 1 from the Sun server to my computer and I have found an astonishing thing. All the downloaded archives are much smaller (approximately twice) then corresponding archives I "pumped down" previous time, half a year ago. I remind this was a Sun Studio 12 distribution (no word update in the name), the archives were called for example "SunStudio12ml-solaris-x86-200709-pkg.tar.bz2" (the present corresponding archive is SunStudio12u1-SunOS-x86-pkgs-ML.tar.bz2). All new archives are smaller then previous. I didn't install Sun Studio on my computer, still I'd like to understand why the size of these distributions reduced. By no means I think that the quality of the program is determined by its size, but the trend of the modern software is such that every new release of the product is larger then previous, as it accumulates additions, acquires new features. Why this new version of SS 12 diminished in size? What are the distinctions of Sun Studio 12 Update 1 from Sun Studio 12? I'd like to get answer from developers familiar to this family of Sun products.

Sun Studio 12 shipped with about 250Mb (uncompressed) of Java 5 + patches, along with other patches.
Sun Studio 12 upate1 did not need all of that. Only about 10Mb (uncompressed) in patches was included.

Which Visual C++ redistributable package needed for Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 and 4?

Which redistributable package should be installed at the client side for binaries built with either Visual C++ 2013 Update 3 or 4?
From the Download Center, "Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013",
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 I downloaded "vcredist_x86.exe" and "vcredist_x64.exe", which have version number 12.0.21005.1
My system, which has installed VS2013 Update 3, also has "vcredist_x86.exe" and "vcredist_x64.exe", at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\1033", but these having a higher version number: 12.0.30501.0
A colleague of mine has installed VS2013 Update 4, but has the same redistributable files as my VS2013 Update 3 installation: version 12.0.30501.0.
Is it correct to conclude that
the VS2013 redistributables at Microsoft's Download Center (12.0.21005.1) are outdated?
VS2013 Update 3 and Update 4 based applications may share the very same redistributable package (12.0.30501.0)?

@Niels,
Maybe we cannot say it is not uploaded. We can see the package is named as
Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 Update 4
So the package may only specific for one version and does not mean it should have Visual C++ Redistributable Packages
for Visual Studio 2013 Update 2
If you want to report anything you can consider use Connect:
https://connect.microsoft.com/
However I don't think we need to report this case on Connect.
For your last question, since the version 30501 seems to be the update version of 21005, I think you will not have them together. Anyway, for this particular VC++ runtime, I would recommend you keep it update to date.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019667?wa=wsignin1.0
Then you may get the latest features. And if you have any specific reason that you need a specific version, I think we can handle it case by case. For example, if you want to deploy you C++ application and you need a runtime version.

Barry

Will Sun Studio 12 Update 1 eventually show up with smpatch analyze?

I have a Solaris 10 (sparc) box on which previous Sun Studio updates have been applied via smpatch. I was able to use smpatch analyze/download/update to find and apply the updates. Will Sun Studio 12 Update 1 eventually show up with smpatch analyze or will I need to manually install it?
Thanks.
Matthew

I'm not 100% sure, but it is a different release, despite the name (12 update 1). Most, if not all, components have different version numbers compared to ones from Sun Studio 12.

Subversion support for Sun Studio 11 IDE

Hi there,
has anybody succeeded in using the Sun Studio 11 IDE with the Subversion SCM system? I searched the web for informations about this but didn't find anything.
Thanks for your help!
Jens Siebert

Jens,
The subversion module in netbeans is based on a current version
of netbeans (I'm not sure exactly which one). It very unlikely to work
with the Sun Studio 11 IDE because the Sun Studio 11 IDE is based
on a much older version of NetBeans (3.5.1 with modifications).
The next major release of Sun Studio should use the current
NetBeans release. It should work with the Subversion module.
Unfortunately, we won't be releasing for quite a while.

ECCN number for Sun Studio 10

Hi,
I can not find "Sun Studio 10" as a product in the Sun Software Export Matrix:
http://www.sun.com/sales/its/software/software.html
Anyone that knows which ECCN number to use in case you are shipping libraries from Sun Studio 10?
The library I have in mind is Tools.h++.

Actually, the implementation of -xpagesize and its friends will not be available on x86 until the next release. Sorry for the confusion.

Logic Studio Serial Number not accepted for Logic Studio 9 updates

I just purchased an upgrade from Logic Express to Logic Studio 9. I wanted to download the updates to current versions from http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/download/, but my serial number wasn't accepted on that page. I've checked the numbers (I copied them from the registration dialog just before pressing return - yes, the letters are all caps). Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

I've seen lots of people posting about their serial not working yesterday, and experiencing it myself with my own serial.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2297318&tstart=0
I'm guessing their gateway server that authorizes the download by verifying your serial number had "issues" yesterday, probably caused by demand. I'm sure Apple posted the direct download page because of this.

I can't install multi language pack - english for visual studio 2013 update 3

Error : Microsoft portable library multi-targeting language pack - enu element not fount
Error : Microsoft visual studio 2013 performance collection tools - ENU package failed.
I have downloaded visual studio 2013 in some other language. I wanted to change it to English so I downloaded multi language pack- English and installed. I came up with the above error. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I don't know of a reason you posted your question in a Visual Basic forum. You should probably find a Visual Studio forum to post your question in.
However I've never tried to do what you want to do. But maybe these links can assist you.

Starting with Visual Studio 2012, the Professional, Premium, and Ultimate products use a unified language pack. To install more than one language version of these products, you must install a full language product first and then install one or more language
packs." |||||||||| "NOTE: The Professional, Premium, and Ultimate products starting in Visual Studio 2012 don't support installing multiple language versions of the full language product on the same computer. After you install one

It looked to me that the top 32 bits of rsi got whacked somehow.
AFAICT, it only occurs with "-O0". Omit -O0, or use -O1, -O2, etc. and it works.
The simple code above is based on the same issue in critical Apache Portable Runtime code (apr_snprintf() et al) that renders APR useless for httpd and probably many other apps.

Your code won't compile as shown. I suspect that the source code has been munged by the forum display formatter, because it was not enclosed in "code" brackets.
Here is what I think your example looked like: #include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
static void local_vformatter(char* buf, size_t len,
const char *format, va_list ap)
    char *str;
    ssize_t bigval;
    str = va_arg(ap, char*);
    printf("arg %s\n", str);
    str = va_arg(ap, char*);
    printf("arg %s\n", str);
    bigval = va_arg(ap, /*ssize_t*/ unsigned long);
    printf("arg %lld\n", bigval);
    str = va_arg(ap, char*);
    printf("arg %s\n", str);
static void local_snprintf(char* buf, size_t len,
const char *format, ...)
    va_list ap;
    va_start(ap, format);
    local_vformatter(buf, len, format, ap);
    va_end(ap);
int main()
    char buf[800];
    char *key, *val;
    ssize_t len;
    key = "KEY1";
    val = "VAL1";
    len = strlen(key);
    local_snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%sKey %s (%ld) Value %s\n",
    "->", key, len, val);
    printf(buf);
} I was able to reproduce your problem only with -O0, as you found.
The short answer is, don't use -O0. It serves no useful purpose, except for compiler testing.
Either use no -O option, best for debugging, or use -O2 or above to get optimization.
If you would like to see a fix for this problem, please file a bug report at

Sun Update Manager attempts to patch wrong arch of Sun Studio 12

Hi,
I'm having patching problems as mentioned here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5198127&tstart=0
However, I recently (last week) installed an x86_64 version of Sun Studio 12 on my sparc NFS server as documented here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-0274/6nc1b7u4r?a=view
(Installing the Sun Studio 12 Software on a Solaris Server for Use by Clients With a Different Architecture)
The clients are Sun Solaris 10 11/06 x86_64.
After running "check for updates", Sun Update Manager today returned 9 patches for Sun Studio 12. All of these patches appear to be for sparc architecture:
126995-01
124861-02
124867-01
124863-01
127000-01
127143-01
126503-01
127001-01
124872-01
My question is, why doesn't Sun Update Manager realize that I installed the x86_64 version of Sun Studio 12 (for NFS exporting) and give me the x86_64 version of these patches?
Or am I missing something? How does the procedure "Installing the Sun Studio 12 Software on a Solaris Server for Use by Clients With a Different Architecture" result in the package system on the NFS server being aware of the correct arch version of Sun Studio 12?
This should explain more:

I obviously have the i386 version of f95 sitting on my sparc server. The x86 clients are happy with it - works great, but I want to be able to patch it.
Can anyone tell me how to apply patches to my Sun Studio 12 installation in this case?
Thanks,
Phil

its probably best to get your other patching issue sorted out first before going any further with this. it may turn out that fixing the problem of smpatch analyze recommending already installed patches will also fix this problem
