Your problems installing the Sun Studio 11 patches through Update Manager have been encountered previously in regards to globally installed packages and was due to a combination of bug ID's 6337009, 6214678 and 6374972 for the patching utilities of which the last is still open.
You will currently have to manually install the patches using patchadd with the "-G" flag whilst in the global zone to install them in the global zone only.

Sun studio patches on linux: how to deal with?

hello all,
on solaris 10, i'm using a tool like pca (1) to maintain sun studio up to date.
But on linux, i don't know how to do the same process?
I've a Centos on a Sun x2270, i've installed SS21u1 with rpms, and sometimes, i go to the patches website, and do the painful job of installing the latest patches.
Is there another way? or a better process to get the latest rpms available?
For instance, on solaris 10, pca loads afile name patchdiag.xref, in which i can find patches related to Sun Studio on Linux:
grep -i 'Studio 12' /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref | grep -i Linux | awk -F\| '{print $1}'

Thanks Julien for this information.
For a SCD Type 1 dimension I used IKM Oracle Incremental Update module and when I execute the interface I get ORA-01031: insufficient privileges error message because I have only read access on the source system. Based on your suggestion, ODI shouldn't access/need source system for staging purposes.
What did I do wrong then?
According with ODI documentation, IKM Oracle Incremental Update module: Integrates data in an Oracle target table in incremental update mode. This IKM creates a temporary staging table to stage the data flow. It then compares its content to the target table to guess which records should be inserted and which others should be updated. It also allows performing data integrity check by invoking the CKM. Inserts and updates are done in bulk set-based processing to maximize performance. Therefore, this IKM is optimized for large volumes of data. Consider using this IKM if you plan to load your Oracle target table to insert missing records and to update existing ones. If you plan to use this IKM with very large tables, you should consider enhancing this IKM by removing the MINUS set-based operator. To use this IKM, the staging area must be on the same data server as the target.

Hello Nik,
First off, let me say thanks for your assistance.
I wasn't able to find "sunstudio12-patched-ii-2009Sep-sol-sparc.tar.bz2" but I did locate another Sun Studio 12 Tarfile Install called "SunStudio12ml-solaris-sparc-200709-ii.tar.bz2". And I located a Sun Studio 12 System Preparation Tool as well.
One issue I saw was below....
If you install the Sun Studio 12 software using the Sun Studio 12 tarfile, your installation is unsupported, and you will not be able to apply Sun Studio product patches.
This maybe an issue later. Our DBAs are planning on upgrading ORACLE on this development box which I believe may require an upgrade on some of the Sun Studio patch versions.

How to generate gdb compatible .o for CMT using Sun Studio C compiler?

Hello,
we've been working on a joint project for telco bearer plane applications on CMT.
We started the project using gcc for Sparc and we switched to Sun Studio compiler when we hit some bugs in gcc (optimized mode was not completely stable). The switch took a few weeks due to syntax differences and toolchain option changes.
With Sun Studio we got a double digit percent performance improvement, so Sun Studio proved more stable and faster than gcc.
To debug programs we require gdb, because the Telco customers are more familiar with it. The problem is that Sun Studio generates object files which are not compatible with gdb.
Our main requirement is to be able to generate gdb compatible object files using Sun Studio compiler.
We checked this link:
http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/ReleaseNotes.html
but this seems to be a variant of gcc. At this point we cannot switch compiler because of the performance and stability issues mentioned above and because it will take a few weeks to months to switch.
We have two questions:
1) Is there a way to generate gdb compatible object files using Sun Studio 11?
2) If not, is this funcionality going to be available in a future release of Sun Studio and what is the time frame?
Thanks for your help.

The undefined symbol is in the C++ runtime support library that is part of Solaris. Probably you have an out-fo-date version of the libraries.
You can get current patches from the Sun Studio patch page:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/downloads/patches/index.html
From the page for your version of WorkShop or Sun Studio, select the C++ Runtime Library patch for the version of Solaris that your are running. While you are at it, you can get the current compiler patches as well.
If patching the runtime libraries does not fix the problem, let me know, and also show the exact command lines that you use for compiling and linking the program.

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

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

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

Sun Studio (12,1) is unable to find a supported version of the Netbeans IDE

Hi all,
We're working on upgrading both the hardware and software on our application currently, and part of this involves upgrading our compiler to Sun Studio 12.1. I downloaded
SunStudio12u1-SunOS-SPARC-pkgs-ML.tar.bz2
from the Sun website and we installed it into the following location on our server:
/opt/compiler/sunstudio12.1
I successfully compiled all my code using the compiler, however, when I try to launch the debugger by typing ./sunstudio in the 'bin' directory, I get the following error:
{opt/compiler/sunstudio12.1/bin}./sunstudio
Sun Studio is unable to find a supported version of the NetBeans IDE.
Sun Studio requires a NetBeans IDE version 6.5.1 with NetBeans C/C++ module (cnd
2) enabled.
Sun Studio looks for a valid NetBeans IDE installation in the following order:
1) Location specified with --netbeanshome command line option
2) At /opt/compiler/sunstudio12.1/netbeans
I have seen references to executing 'prepare_system' on forums while I was trying to investigate this, but when our sys admin folks try to execute the command, it does not work (command not found). They've mentioned that they expected a prepare_system script in the directory where we untarred the downloaded sun studio tarfile, but it is not there:

Any advice appreciated on how to get the debugger working. Ideally, I'd prefer not to uninstall / reinstall if at all possible as we're about to start system testing our executables, and I think a reinstall would require more unit teting and delays to our project (yikes!). But any input would be appreciated here.
Thanks,
Brendan.

Hi David,
First off - thanks for the response. I do have some follow up questions if you don't mind though:
1. When you say the install is corrupted, do you suspect
- the file I downloaded from the website either was corrupted, or was not the correct file for my platform
- the procedure used to install the software was incorrect
- something else
2. Is there a logfile that the sun studio install creates which would indicate an error during the installation procedure? I'm sure our admins who performed the install would have shouted if an error was logged... but on the offchance that the installation does not 'shout loudly' for some errors, I'd like to see a log of the error. At a minimum, I'd expect it to say why the install failed, and what we need to modify to ensure a successful install next time 'round.
3. I successfully compiled my code using the C compiler from the install. My unit tests also look good... does this suggest that the install was at least a partial success, and would you suspect that my recompiled executables are reliable, despite the fact that I cannot launch the IDE?
4. Today, one of our admins telnetted to our unix server - not via exceed by the way, but he did try the following test:
- set his display env variable (he knew he would not get a display however)
- executed the sunstudio script
He did not get the netbeans error, and the process appeared to be running (as I mentioned, without a display) until he killed it. I've asked if they can repeat the test using an exceed session. I thought there may be something on his $PATH that I did not have - unfortunately this was not the case (although, he may have access as 'root' to something that I require to launch the IDE). My question is, would you expect this behaviour if the install was corrupted?
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Brendan.

Exception not always caught in Sun Studio 12

Hi,
We're using Sun Studio 12 (Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-01 2007/07/25) on a Solaris 10 SPARC machine. In our applications an exception thrown is sometimes not caught in the try/catch statement and the program continues at an outer catch statement (which usually leads to the program exiting). So far I've not been able to reduce the code down to a simple example and I don't yet know what conditions causes this behaviour.
In general the code has a big try/catch statement in main. Somewhere deep in the code there is a second try/catch statement which protects against a piece of code which we know may throw an exception. This is usually a smart pointer being dereferenced. The act of dereferencing the smart pointer in turn causes an exception to be thrown which is caught internally in a third try/catch inside the dereference code. The exception is successfully caught and some clean up is done. Then the exception is re-thrown by either using a throw; statement or a new throw xmsg("...");. All our exceptions are always of type xmsg which simply takes a string argument.
When the problem manifests itself the second try/catch is ignored and the re-thrown exception is instead caught in the outer catch statement in main which causes the program to log an error and exit.
We have lots of code which is structured the same way and the same style of code works in many cases only to fail in some specific case. It's an elusive problem because the problem moves around and it also depends on how the program is compiled. It only seems to happen when compiled in debug mode. If I compile with -xO4 the problem seems to go away.
The problem also goes away or moves to a different place if the code has changed somewhere between compiles, i.e. some other developer has modified some code, not necessarily in the same are where the problem originally happened.
One thing we have is a function we call DoThrow (used to suppress a warning on an older compiler) defined like this:
void DoThrow(const std::string& msg)
throw xmsg(msg);
}As an experiment I replaced the call to DoThrow with a straight throw xmsg(...) at a place where the first exception was thrown and the problem went away. I'm not sure if removing the call to DoThrow fixed the problem or if the minor restructuring of the code was enough to move the problem elsewhere.
For production releases we still use WorkShop 6, update 2 which does not have any problems like this. We really would like to upgrade to Sun Studio 12 because it's a much better compiler over all. We can't upgrade until we feel confident we have a workaround.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be wrong or any ideas on what I can do to narrow down the problem?
Thanks,
Krister

Many thanks. You've given me a few areas to focus on and I'll bring my house in order.
The only external C++ library we depend on is STLport 5.0.2 which we compile ourselves. It's currently compiled with 5.3 on Solaris 8 and I will recompile it with 5.9 on Solaris 10. All other external libraries are C libraries. Our own code is put in static libraries and linked statically. I've read that exceptions thrown in shared libraries can be problematic.
Your comment about complex conditional expressions (a ? f() : g()) is interesting. We've been bitten before by compiler bugs affecting those types of expressions. Destructors called twice or destructors called for temporaries never created. We may still have some conditional expressions like that.
The exception is of type xmsg, defined this way:
class xmsg
public:
    xmsg(const char* s) : _msg(s) {}
    xmsg(const std::string& s) : _msg(s) {}
    const std::string& why() const { return _msg; }
private:
    const std::string _msg;
};There are three catch blocks involved and all the try/catch statement look like this:
try
catch(const xmsg& msg)
}Here is a stack trace from dbx at the point where the exception is thrown the first time.

    }The exception is caught (frame 7 in the stack trace above) and re-thrown in the below code, at the last throw statement.
void BaseFactory::Load(BaseExemplar& e)
SourceMap::iterator p = _sources.find(&e._key->Type());
if(p == _sources.end())

      ++i;
      if(i == p->second.end())
     throw;
}There is a second try/catch one level up (stack frame 8, the call to GPAuthorizationSource::Load). Here's a snippet of that piece of code.
    try
      const Exemplar<User>& user = UserFactory::Instance().CreateExemplar(
     *new UserReference(authorizationTable._login.Value()));
      *user;
    catch(const xmsg& msg)
      Logger::Instance() << LogHeader << MsgClass(MsgClass::Error)

    // ...I put a break-point in the catch block in the above code but I never hit the break point and the exception is caught in an outer try/catch, an error is printed and the program exits.
try
catch(const xmsg& msg)
    std::cerr << "ERROR: " << msg.why() << std::endl;
}I'm sorry I have not yet been able to produce a smaller example that can be compiled and tested in isolation. I know that's important in order to track down the problem. It seems like the smallest change in seemingly unrelated parts of the code makes the problem come or go.

Strange C++ error when using newer Sun Studio compiler

My company has just set up a new build machine for our product. We have gone from
this version: CC: Sun C++ 5.7 Patch 117830-11 2007/04/04
to this one: CC: Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-01 2007/07/25
we have also upgraded the OS (solaris/sparc). I think the new one has gcc but the old one doesn't (we don't use it).
and now I am getting this error:

I have no idea what could be causing this. I can find one link to it on this forum: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9488983 . But the only answer to that query says it is the same as another bug which appears entirely different, not to mention being very old (while talking about an imminent fix), and being related to a different OS and (I think) a different version of sun studio (express vs. normal?).
Any ideas? Could it be related to having gcc/g++ on the machine?

Hi,
I am also facing the same error while upgrading the Sun compiler description as below

The same file with the same compilation command is getting compiled with compiler version CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C+ 5.3 2001/05/15 .
Can anyone suggest what should be the resolution:-

the compiler and library that you are using.

Code generation bug in Sun Studio 12

Hi,
The following program prints `Failure' when compiled with -xO4 where nothing should be printed (when compiled with no optimization or -xO2). It looks to me that the first comparison `buggy_routine' against 0x80 is returning True where it should return False.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
typedef unsigned long long int      EIF_NATURAL_64;
typedef unsigned char   EIF_BOOLEAN;
typedef int EIF_INTEGER_32;
typedef char * EIF_REFERENCE;
char s[] = "9223372036854775808";
void buggy_routine (EIF_REFERENCE Current, EIF_NATURAL_64 arg1)
    EIF_NATURAL_64 tu8_1;
    tu8_1 = (EIF_NATURAL_64) ((EIF_INTEGER_32) 128L);
    if ((EIF_BOOLEAN) (arg1 <= tu8_1)) {
    } else {
        if ((EIF_BOOLEAN) (arg1 <= ((EIF_NATURAL_64) 9223372036854775808ull ))) {
        } else {
              printf("Failure\n");
int main (int argc, char ** argv, char **envp ) {
    EIF_NATURAL_64 loc2 = (EIF_NATURAL_64) 0;
    loc2 = (EIF_NATURAL_64) atoll(s);
    buggy_routine ("s", loc2);
}To reproduce:
cc -xO4 bug.c -o bug ; ./bug
It fails on both 32 and 64-bit code generation for x86. I haven't tried on Sparc as I need to install Sun Studio 12. Is this a known issue? Is there an easy workaround?
I tried with Sun Studio 11 and it worked just fine there.
Regards,
Manu
PS: I've tried with both version (the first is the one from the default installation) and the second after I noticed there were some patches available:
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 Patch 124868-01 2007/07/12
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 Patch 124868-02 2007/11/27

An issue filed at bugs.sun.com does not go directly into the bug database. It is evaluated, and if it turns out the report is actually a bug not previously reported, goes into the database. You get a notification and chance to reply after the report is evaluated.
In this case, I picked up your report myself, and filed the bug. The bug ID is 6654314, and will be visible at bugs.sun.com in a day or two.

Need help building boost_1_37_0 on Solaris 10 U6 with Sun Studio 12

Hi,
Ok, please bear with me here. I've tried many different sets of instructions, and haven't had success with any of them (including the ones at http://blogs.sun.com/sga/category/Boost).
Operating System: Solaris 10 x86 U6
Compiler: Sun Studio 12 (SUNCC version 5.9)
Boost version: 1.37.0
The ONLY part of boost that I need is regex. I've never built external libraries before and building boost on Solaris seems a rather daunting task. So, could someone please explain, as clearly as possible, how do I build the boost::regex library using SUNCC?
I know this is a very broad topic, but since I haven't had any luck with any existing instructions that google turns up, alas I am here.
Thanks in advance if someone can help me,
~Slow
Note: I don't need any special options, any special, non-standard install paths, nothing. Just a straight, stock, boost install.
Edited by: SlowToady on Nov 10, 2008 2:18 PM

First, be sure you have the current patches for Sun Studio 12. You can get them here:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/
Please install the current C++ compiler patch, the C compiler patch, and the common back-end compiler patch.
You should then be able to build BOOST 1.37.0. The only problem I know of has been filed as CR 6767881, which results in an incorrect complaint about a constructor not being accessible. But I don't think that one affects regex.
If you running into some other problem after patching the compiler, please post enough detail that we can investigate it.
Questions about how to build just a portion of BOOST are probably best addressed to a BOOST forum.

Sun Studio 12 support for Solaris 10 3/05

The Sun Studio 12 http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/features/sysreq.jsp page mentions Solaris 9 and 10 1/06 are supported. Will Sun Studio 12 support Solaris 10 3/05 in the future?
Why is Solaris 10 3/05 not supported or at least a patch provided to allow Sun Studio 12 to support 3.05?

I have done a poor job of explaining. The Sun Studio 12 Release Notes do specify Solaris 10 1/06. Read them. Why would Sun specify that release unless Solaris 10 3/05 was not supported? See http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/support/support_matrix.jsp and http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12/release_notes.html#SystemReqs
Sun has gone to the trouble to list Solaris OS 9 and 10 1/06. It is not a matter of applying patches to become 10 1/06 from 3/05. It requires an upgrade.

Tcov Code Coverage Libraries missing from Sun Studio 12!!!

/opt/sun/sunstudio12/prod/bin/f90comp: error while loading shared libraries: libyabe.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryThis file is also nowhere to be found!!! Have the sun developers decided to leave out crucial libraries?!?
Regards

This is not very nice from the compiler, but at least it is documented here:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12/mr/READMEs/fortran_95.html#limitations
Quote:
The -xprofile=collect and -xprofile=tcov options should not be used when building shared libraries on Linux.

Sun studio 11 patched arggg...
