Sun Studio 12 - Code parsing taking FOREVER on startup

Hello,
Is it normal for SS 12 to take a very long time to parse project code on startup? Is this parsing necessary? Is there a way to disable parsing on startup, or to speed it up?
My sparc machine is only 650 Mhz, but it still seems like it is taking way too long to finish parsing.
Thank you in advance...

You can add "-m 64" as additional option to the compilers that are used in this project,
or enable "64 Bit Architecture" in project properties.
Open "Project Properties" dialog (select project, right click, Properties), and expand
the following properties:
C/C++/Fortran
|--- C Compiler           |
      |--- General         |   64 Bit Architecture [ ]
|--- C++ Compiler         |
      |--- General         |   64 Bit Architecture [ ]
|--- Fortran Compiler     |
      |--- General         |   64 Bit Architecture [ ]Select 64 Bit Architecture check box - this should update your makefile.
Thanks,
Nik

Sun Studio code hangs at fork, GCC code runs fine

I am encountering a strange problem where code complied with GCC runs fine, but the same code compiled with Sun Studio 12 compiler hangs at a fork call after an initial set of fork calls.
I'd appreciate your help in solving this.
The code was originally written for GCC, I started using the Sun Studio with a view to using Sun's thread analyzer. I made a couple of changes which I think are inoccuous:
(a) added #ifdef __SUNPRO_CC char * __FUNCTION__ = "name"; #endif
(b) one more #ifdef around one call to ctime_r because the g++ include expects 2 parameters while Sun Studio 12 expects 3 parameters.
The g++ is compiled on a Solaris 9 (1 x sparcv9) using GCC 3.3.3
while the Sun Studio 12 is on a Solaris 10 ( 4 x sparcv9).
Both runs were on the same Solaris 10 machine which has the compiler.
The program is a multi instance socket listener, the main program binds to a socket, then forks off a set of processes which accept connections, those children later fork off other client applications based on the connection data; after those clients exit, the children continue accepting etc. The main program only monitors the child processes, records their status and starts if any of those die.
This is working as expected when compiled with g++.
The exact same code (note the two sets of #ifdefs above) when compiled with Sun PRO CC alway hangs at the second set of fork. That is, it goes through the first set of forks fine, then when a connection is established, it reads the data but hangs right at the fork call.
The application code at this point is:
char * p = pathfind( getenv("PATH"), progname );
if ( !p ) { printError(); return false; }
pid = fork();
The truss for the Sun Studio code shows
23914: access("/usr/bin/progname", X_OK) = Err#2 ENOENT
23914: access("/usr/you/bin/progname", X_OK) = 0
23914: lwp_park(0x0000000, 0) (sleeping)
while the truss for the g++ code shows
23986: access("/usr/bin/progname", X_OK) = Err#2 ENOENT
23986: access("/usr/you/bin/progname", X_OK) = 0
23996: fork1() = 24005
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks and best regards

If I understand correctly, you are compiling with gcc on Solaris 9, and with Sun Studio on Solaris 10. Since the OS is different, you might be running into OS issues and not compiler issues. What happens if you build with the same gcc version on the Solaris 10 system where you see the problem?
By "OS issues", I mean
1. The program uses unstable or undocumented OS interfaces, or
2. A bug that is new in Solaris 10.
A bug was identified in Solaris 10 that could cause forks to hang. It showed up in the libpkcs11 library as used by the JVM. I don't know whether it showed up elsewhere.
This bug was fixed in Solaris 10u2. If you are using an earlier version of Solaris 10, you could try upgrading.

Sun Studio 11 do not parse make output and create link to file?

Hi,
Running Sun Studio 11 and can only get file links in the output window when I run a make command that uses CC -g (debug option). We have integrated other tools into our make system (flexlint, cppUnit..) and even though we make sure that the syntax is exactly the same as the compiler output and matches regular expression under tools->options->building->make settings->error expression, it doesn't work. Why do you have to debug compile to get sun studio to create a file link in the output window? Doesn't sun studio just parse the text from the make command?
example of flexlint output for which no link is created:
"/vobs/project/oss/fm/fm4/fm-fmalib/fmbal/fmaaulib/src/FMA_List.cc", line 440: Error 84: sizeof object is zero or object is undefined'�
example of make debug output for which we do get a link:
"/vobs/project/oss/fm/fm4/fm-fmalib/fmbal/SunOS5.10/inc/FMA_alarm_record.hh", line 1310: Warning (Anachronism):Info "static" is not allowed and is being ignored.

I'd second Maxim's suggestion: try NetBeans 5.5 with C/C++ Development Pack. The official release of NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack 5.5 has happened a few days ago. You can download it from
http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/all.php?b_id=2284
Some of the changes between the beta3 build and FCS are:
* Significant performance improvements in the code parser resulting in faster results in the Class View and Code Completion
* Programs now run in an external terminal (system dependent) by default. This allows better input control
* Significant performance improvement in the debugging module
* Significant functionality improvement in the debugging module
* New project type "C/C++ Project From Existing Code" which simplifies creating a project from existing code
* Macro support in code completion
* Hyperlink navigation for macro usages and #include directives
* Reformat code
* Code folding
* Code completion
All these features will appear in next Sun Studio release, so you can
consider NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack 5.5 as a preview of new
Sun Studio IDE.

How to fix the problem of Sun Studio 11 carshed at startup

I used Sun Studio 11 to develop my program for year,

Have anyone can help me to resolve this problem?
Following is the error messages in popup window:

A wild guess: try cleaning (with a back up, of course) Sun Studio caches: ~/.sunstudio/ and .nbattrs in startup (or project?) directory.

Sun Studio 12 takes lot of time to startup

Hi,
When I try to use sunstudio 12 on a Solaris 10 U6 x86 box, it takes ages to open the UI window.
The window kind of hung state with out any messges showing in it until it comes up with full screen.
Debugging from sunstudio takes lot of time when we try step to the code.
Is this a known issue?. Any workaround?.
The Solaris system has 8GB RAM and plenty of disk space.
Thanks

Thank you for the report! No, it is not a known issue.
I use Sun Studio IDE on Solaris 10 x86 system with 2 Gb memory.
Its responsiveness is ok (though sometimes it parses my projects
for 10-20 seconds, but it happens only 2-3 times per day).
The "startup" time is about 20-30 seconds.
Let's try to find out what is the problem on your system.
Can you run "sunstudio" under "truss -d" and look at the log file?
Here is the command:
truss -d -a -e -f -o ss.tr sunstudio --userdir /tmp/newuserdir It will create a log file "ss.tr" in current directory. Open it in a text editor,
and look for long actions. Probably there is something in your HOME
directory, that causes these delays.
If you don't see anything suspicious, let me know. I'll take a look at the
log file (though it can be several Mb, so we have to find out how to send it).
Thanks,
Nik

Installed Sun studio 12.2. ran 'discover' command on C++ code.Gives warning

Hi,
I installed Sun studio 12.2. I compiled C++ code with C++ 5.11 compiler, and ran discover command as shown below:
> #CC -g -O2 test.cpp
> #discover -w - a.out
> discover (warning): a.out will be analyzed in lite mode because it has no annotations. See discover documentation for compiler flag/OS recommendations
I get the discover warning. After runnig discover command, I executed ./a.out. On cosole, only memory leaks will be displayed and no other error.
Any reason why discover gives warning??????????????????

It really works.
I tried running on Solaris 10 update 8. discover tool runs properly. Where as , the tool runs in lite mode on Solaris update 4.
If possible , can you pint me to some links where I can this kind of info.?
Thank you very much.

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.

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.

Sun Studio 12 startup exception

Hi,
Below was the exception I got when I started Sun Studio, it was running fine until I installed glib from pkgutil and it was still running fine when I was in the IDE. The error only happened after I quit Sun Studio and go back in. Any idea?

Are you saying that "sunstudio" does not run anymore on this system?
Can you try to start it with empty userdir?
% rm -rf /tmp/newdir
% sunstudio --userdir /tmp/newdir
BTW, what OS do you use? I guess it is Linux, correct?
Thanks,
Nik

During startup my ipod is taking forever to connect to my wifi network. I have the corrct key and everything. Any help?

Your model MB528LL ipod is a 2G and can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. many apps now require 4.3 or later.
You said "will not use the WiFi connection that I have looged on to it continues to tell me that it can't use anything without a secure connection."
Just what are you doing when you get that message and what is the exact wording of the error message?

This is not very nice from the compiler, but at least it is documented here:

Quote:
The -xprofile=collect and -xprofile=tcov options should not be used when building shared libraries on Linux.

I figured it out by looking at the application server logs on the admin console. The problem was a permissions issue. I'm working with some plug-ins from ESRI (the gis software company) for ArcGIS Server 9.2. I forgot that you have to add some lines to the server.policy file (located at:
/<install directory>/SunAppServer8/domains/creator/config/
The text you have to add is
grant {
permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control","";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "*","read";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "PEOBJEDITHOME","read,write";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "ARCGIS_RELEASEALL_SHUTDOWN_HOOK","read,write";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "ARCGIS_IUNKNOWN_VARIENT_OBJECTS","read,write";
So there you go.

Sun studio 12: java exception on load

I frequently get the following error when starting the sun studio 12 netbeans ui on Solaris 10 on Intel:
*********** Exception occurred ************ at 12:45 PM on Jul 3, 2007
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no base in java.library.path

r.java:85)
at com.sun.tools.swdev.toolscommon.base.Stat.<clinit>(Stat.java:201)
and this prevents the UI from working properly. I have to retry a few times and sometimes it starts up without any issues. Any idea what can cause this and how to prevent it from happening?

It seems to depend on what directory I am in when I try and launch sunstudio. Sometimes it only works when I am in the root folder, sometimes it works when I am in the folder that contains my project.
This is the only message on the console where i run it from:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-monotype-arial-regular-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

Pros and Cons of the Sun studio IDE

Hi all,
I have played a bit with the Sun studio now and I want to give you some feedback.
First of all, my background. I am working in a team with about 20 developers, developing a C++ application on Solaris.
Last time I stumbled across an installed Sun Studio 9 and gave it a try.
Initially I was verry impressed by the great debugger- and analyzer frontends, they look nice and work well.
After using the debugger from time to time and really enjoyed it, I thought about testing the studio for all-day work.
So, here are my impressions and the things that keep me away from using it.
1. The default editor isn't very usefull. For example, I missed regular expression search (and replace) and the feature to mark columns. Furthermore I really missed syntax highlightning for some other file types like sql- and config files, or even the feature to create my own. By the way, the predefined highlightning for C-files is also a bit too simple.
2. I think the external editor plugin is a bit buggy too, because sometimes I have trash in files that I have edited before. But this can also be my fault, because I use gvim and some editor macros to do sccs-actions. I think the problems occur mainly if I use this macros. In every case the external editor is not really an alternative way for me.
2. In our team we are using teamware as version-control tool and it does a really good job. So for Workshop 7 we have some editor macros and the teamware-tools from version 6. In the studio I have found the feature to create my own version control profiles, but this is a hard way with many tries and errors. For example I have never accomplished it to set further status information in the explorer window, it's 'Local' all the time.
3. The studio needs very much memory, I think about 250 MB or so. This is impressive, especially if all the 20 people in our team would start sunstudio. I have found a hint somewhere in the docu that the studio can work in a client-server mode over a VNC, but I haven't tried it because I don't know what the admins would say if I start running my own VNC.
4. After I have also tried eclipse with the cdt plugin, I really began to like the source-browser and missed it in the studio.
5. All in all I hoped that the newest Sunstudio got a netbeans update, because some of the plugins that exists only for newer netbeans-versions would also be useful for me and my team. But, at least the latest linux-preview is also based on netbeans 3.5. Maybee do you have plans to update netbeans within the studio?
Ok, that's all for now ;-)
Please don't understand me wrong, I really like some features of the studio, and it's a great improvement compared with the workshop version 6 that I used before. But, at all for me the studio is still not useable in all-day work.
P.S.
At work I have only access to Sun studio version 9, at home I have also tried version 11, that is the reason why I mixed the version-numbers sometimes ;-)
With kind regards,
Maaz76

1. The default editor isn't very usefull. For example, I missed
regular expression search (and replace) and the feature to
mark columns. Furthermore I really missed syntax highlightning
for some other file types like sql- and config files, or even the
feature to create my own. By the way, the predefined highlightning
for C-files is also a bit too simple.The current IDE we're working on is based on a current NetBeans
and has regular expression search (and replace). I'm pretty sure
NetBeans 5.0 (and presumably later versions) has syntax highlighting
for sql (its got an "SQL Editor" module which I'm guessing has the
highlighing you're asking for).
We're also working on many new editor features not in current
Sun Studio IDEs. These are mostly parser based stuff like code
completion, code folding, and a class viewer.
2. I think the external editor plugin is a bit buggy too, because
sometimes I have trash in files that I have edited before. But this
can also be my fault, because I use gvim and some editor macros
to do sccs-actions. I think the problems occur mainly if I use this
macros. In every case the external editor is not really an alternative
way for me.Its very difficult keeping sources in synch between netbeans and
an external editor. If you can give us a repeatable scenario for
failure we can take a look.
2. In our team we are using teamware as version-control tool and
it does a really good job. So for Workshop 7 we have some editor
macros and the teamware-tools from version 6. In the studio I have
found the feature to create my own version control profiles, but this
is a hard way with many tries and errors. For example I have never
accomplished it to set further status information in the explorer
window, it's 'Local' all the time.We'll definately have sccs support in the next release. TeamWare
support depends on the status of TeamWare. Sun end-of-lifed it
4 years ago. As long as its EOL'ed, we won't support it. But if it
were officially brought back, we'd (most likely) support it.
3. The studio needs very much memory, I think about 250 MB
or so. This is impressive, especially if all the 20 people in our team
would start sunstudio. I have found a hint somewhere in the docu
that the studio can work in a client-server mode over a VNC, but I
haven't tried it because I don't know what the admins would say if
I start running my own VNC.The VNC model shouldn't help on memory. How do you use the IDE
now? Do each of your 20 developers have Solars desktops? I'm
guessing they don't since you're talking about 20 users on one
system. The VNC approach runs all 20 IDEs (assuming all 20
developers are concurrently running the IDE) on the server machine.
So VNC won't help in that case.
On the other hand, if the 20 developers have Windows PCs on their
desktop then the next IDE should help substantially. We're working
on having the IDE run locally on your desktop, and do remote building
and debugging on your Solaris server. This puts most of the IDE
overhead on your desktop rather than the server. This should be
a much better model for multi-user development where Solaris
developers don't have Solaris desktops.
4. After I have also tried eclipse with the cdt plugin, I really began
to like the source-browser and missed it in the studio.We're planning on some browser capabilities. Some are in the
planning stages and others aren't even that far along. But we are
getting repeated inquiries about a source browser.
5. All in all I hoped that the newest Sunstudio got a netbeans
update, because some of the plugins that exists only for newer
netbeans-versions would also be useful for me and my team. But,
at least the latest linux-preview is also based on netbeans 3.5.
Maybee do you have plans to update netbeans within the studio?Well, each major netbeans release has had so many internal
changes its been difficult keeping up. Our next release is planning
to be much more in synch with NetBeans releases. We're doing
current development on the NetBeans trunk (currently thats targeting
the NetBeans 6.0 release).

Sun Studio Debugging problem

Hello
I need help configuring the Sun studio debugger to work in fedora 8. The project is loaded from a make file, compiles fine, and runs fine. However, I can not place break points, and when I start the visual debugger, it gives a message box titled progress, and hangs on saying: starting debugger: /lib/libc.so.6
Running from the command line gives me:
$dbx <my program>

I have another problem in debugging an mpi problem in another installation of Sun Studio on Solaris 10 on a Sun machine. The visual debugger is working fine there, however, I need to debug with mpirun
to decide the number of processors, because by default it loads the application on one processor. Iwill need to do this as well later on the linux machine I am using now, which doesn't even start the debugger on a sequential code so far.
I appreciate your help a lot.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi
Thank you for your reply. you said 2 problems,Yes, basically I meant these two:
1. dbx: warning: unknown location expression code (0xe0)
2. dbx: panic: "ThreadAgent::setup_helper"(): Assertion (ta_td_agent) failed - "thread.cc":2674
First one should be fixed in dbx itself, but the second looks like an incompatibility between Fedora's libc and dbx; unless distros in "supported" list upgrade to the same version of libc, dbx can't be changed to match it.
In other words, I'm sorry to say that you will probably not succeed in using dbx on Fedora 8 for the time being.

General and specific questions on the applicability of Sun Studio 11

Hi. In an e-mail letter from Sun Microsystems I read about Sun Studio 11 to "utilize its record-setting parallelizing compilers." From this message I was attracted by the possibility of adding something like parallel processing, not by changing the processor (hardware), but by adding Sun-Studio-11 software to a Linux operating system. Now I already have a Fortran compiler, the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux, which is free and can handle Cray-style pointers, a feature hard to find in a free Fortran compiler.
1a. So for the most basic of questions, without having parallel-processing hardware, just an ordinary processor [a 1-GigaHertz (GHz) Advanced MicroDevices Duron central processing unit, in my case], is it possible to have parallel processing and thereby increase one's computing speed by installing Sun Studio 11 in a Linux operating system?
1b. If so, by what factor could one expect the speed of computation to increase over not having Sun Studio 11 installed? (If the gain in speed is dependent on the type of computations being performed, I imagine possibly using a Fortran code to perform numerical calculations using and perhaps searching for minima or maxima in a two-or-more-dimensional surface. So please give me an idea of the sort of gain in speed one could expect for these two types of activites, calculations using formulas and searches for minima and maxima among already-computed quantities.)
1c. Again if so, how could one just by adding software have parallel processing without two or more hardware processors? In other words, what is the basic working principle of the software to make the simultaneous performance of multiple tasks (multitasking or parallel processing) possible?
2a. Does Sun Studio 11 include a Fortan compiler?
2b. If so, must one use it to have parallel processing with Sun Studio 11?
2c. Or will the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux work with Sun Studio 11 to have a parallel processing capability?
Concerning hardware requirements I read that Sun Studio 11 requires a minimum of 512 MegaBytes (MB) of memory, presumably Random Access Memory (RAM). My Hewlett-Packard, ZE1110, Pavilion, notebook computer has 256 MB of RAM, but is expandable to a maximum of 512 MB of RAM. So in this respect it is in principle at least technically possible for me to meet the minimum system requirement for Sun Studio 11 with my computer, if I choose to increase its RAM. Somehow accommodating the cost of such a RAM addition, including whether one may have to buy two, matching, 256-MB RAM modules or just presumably one additional 256-RAM module, is another requirement. But before spending money for such an upgrade, one should first thoroughly investigate other matters to determine if other things are going to work and to determine what gain, if any, one could expect in computing speed with Sun Studio 11 and an additional 256 MB of RAM; then decide, based on such data, whether the purchase is personally worth the money or not. That's one motivation behind this posting; another motivation is for me to learn some things.
Lastly I would like to here thank whoever was thoughtful enough to provide the Sun Download Manager (SDM) 2.0, which allows the pausing and resumption of the 207-MB download studio11-lin-x86.tar.bz2 for the Linux version of the Sun Studio 11! Using a slow, dialup, Internet connection like mine having a maximum speed of 28.8 kilobits/second, this makes it possible to download that file over a number of Internet sessions instead of having to have an uninterrupted, 19-or-more-hour Internet session. Besides the invconvenience of tying up one's telephone line for that long a time, it might be even be difficult to have such an uninterrupted Internet session for that long a time. I have at least started such a download using the SDM 2.0 potentially over multiple Internet sessions. Whether or not I carry it out to completion could depend on whether everything looks good with Sun Studio 11 for my particular situation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for both of your postings here. I'm mostly trying to learn something here.
From Maxim Kartashev: "For example, if one thread (or process, or lwp) frequently performs an I/O operation, then the other thread (process, lwp) can utilize processor resources to perform, say, some computations while first one waits for operation to complete."
I think I might understand what you meant above. I guess lwp in the above context stands for light-weight process. And I think you may be talking about a potential gain in speed with just one, ordinary processor. I guess you meant that one program, or perhaps group of programs, could perform input/output processes at the same time it is performing calculations because different parts of the processor are being used in these two groups of processes. Then on "while first one waits for operation to complete" I guess you meant that if the input/output operations finish before the computations finish, then thread 1 that was performing the input/output operations will have to wait until the current computations ordered by thread 2 are complete before thread 1 can utilize the computational resources for its own computations; i.e., two threads can't use the same computational resources of an ordinary processor at the same time. How is my thinking so far, Maxim, right, partly right, or all wrong?
Now if the above thinking of mine is right, then it appears that one could have some gain in speed doing things like you suggest with just one, ordinary processor. And if so, I imagine that the gain could be a maximum of a factor of two for a program that requires spending as much time in input and output as it does in computation; i.e., keeping both the computational and input/output resources working all of the time without the input/output resources waiting on the computational resources or vice versa. How is my thinking here?
If the above thinking is correct, just for purposes of discussion with just one, ordinary processor, not a dual processor, and a program which does nothing but computations there would be no gain in speed using Sun Studio 11 and a Fortran compiler over not using Sun Studio 11. In other words, to increase the speed of computation one would have to buy a faster computer, buy parallel processing hardware for an existing computer and use parallel-processing software, or somehow figure out how to harness two or more computers to work for you at the same time with instructions from one piece or perhaps set of pieces of code set up for parallel processing using two or more different computers. The latter case would be a computer analogue or "two 'heads' are better than one," not human heads, but computers. How is my thinking here?
Here I am still assuming that it is possible for one processor to be used to do two different kinds things at once. However, I don't see how one Fortran program could instruct two things to be done at once. This is because I have not seriously studied parallel processing, I suppose. That is I am used to a sequential set of instructions that proceed from top to botton down the lines of code; i.e., one instruction or line of code can't be executed until the line of code before it has been completely executed. That is the computing "world" with which I am familiar. So how about someone here teaching me with an example of parallel-processing Fortran code how parallel processing works, explaining what instruction or group of instructions tells the computer to execute input and computational instructions at the same time?
Based on the encouraging information from one or more other people I have been able to use the Intel Fortran for Linux 8.1.024, if I remember correctly, in a computer with a 1-GigaHertz (GHz), Advanced MicroDevices (A.M.D.), Duron Processor. So this is at least one case where it is not essential to have an Intel processor to use the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux 8.1.024.
Is the Sun Fortran compiler free for personal use? And can it handle Cray-style pointers?
