Sun Studio and ANSI C compilation

Hello, I have a program developed by a third party and it says i need to have a ANSI C99 compatible complier. Does Sun Studio have ANSI C compilation capabilities? If yes, what is the minimum version on Sun Studio that I should have, inorder to have this compiled. I am new to this OS and C programming. Please help.

Assuming you are using Sun Studio 12, full C99 compliance is the default when running on Solaris 10.
The basic flags you care about most often are about the same as any Unix or Linux compiler:
-c compile only
-g compile for debug
-O moderate optimization
-I<dir> add <dir> to the list of directories searched for header files
-L<dir> add <dir> to the list of directories searched for shared (dynamic) libraries
The C++ Users Guide appendix on compiler options describes all options in detail. You can find it via the "docs" directory in the compiler installation, or you can go here directly:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5265/bjapp?a=view

Sun Studio 11 f90 INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: "FWOutput"

Hello SUN-Users,
I am new here, so I don't know I am right here!?
I have a w2100z with two opteron proc. With Sun Studio 11 I am trying to compile the new MUMPS (Ver. 4.6) package, but I get still the error message:
f90 -I/opt/mpich/include -Dpord -I. -I../include -c dmumps_ooc.F
1:LEN$1:1INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR near line 2494 in dmumps_ooc.F (phase FWOutput):
FWOutput: no visit function for class 'SubscriptTriplet'
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `dmumps_ooc.o'
I search with google for "FWOutput" and I found out, that a similar problem already was recognized in Sun Studio 9 and fixed with the patch 115985-04 (6351156 f90 compiler internal error "FWOutput: no vist function for class 'SubscriptTriplet').
Here is some code near line 2494 from file dmumps_ooc.F:
      SUBROUTINE DMUMPS_614(id)
      I=id%MYID
      J=id%OOC_NB_FILES

      DIM_FILE=LEN(TRIM(id%DMUMPS_OOC_PREFIX))
    END SUBROUTINE DMUMPS_614The bolded line is the line 2494.
I can not see anything worng in this routine, but maybe I am already too tired for today.... :-)
Realy it is important to me to compile the MUMPS package,
so I hope somebody can help me?
****With best regards****

I think the TRIM should remove last character of the
string. (?)TRIM removes the trailing blanks in a string. String assignment then adds trailing blanks, so there's no point writing something like
s1 = TRIM(s2)
Can you say me where can I make a bug report? What is
to do?
Maybe next time I can do also a bug report?That's a good question. If you have a support contract, then you should be able to submit a bug report through that. Until recently, I believe that would have been the only way to do it. However, we now have an online support service:
http://developers.sun.com/developer_help/
I imagine you could get a bug filed through that channel as well.

Sun Studio And netbeans

Hello.
I'm a new user in Solaris and SUSE Linux. I like programming and have been looking for development enviroments like Sun Studio for both OS's. Sun Studio 12 is available for both and it comes with Netbeans 5.5. Is it possible to install the latest version of Netbeans without losing performance, or its capability to develop projects in C, C++ and fortran?
Thank you very much.

Hello
Please try latest Sun Studio Express which is based on NB 6.5.
You can find it on download page.

Sun studio and VCS integration?

Hi,
I can't find any information about what VCS, Sun studio can work with, I know netbeans provide CVS, SVN and Mercurial support, is it the same for Sun studio? Is there a documentation page about that, is there plugins, will netbeans plugins work with sun studio ?
Thanx

Yes, you are right, Netbeans provides CVS, SVN and Mercurial support (and probably
some other VCS, like ClearCase), and Sun Studio IDE provides the same support.
The Netbeans plugins will work with Sun Studio IDE.
Thanks,
Nik

Compiling C++ using Sun Studio 11

Hi,
I have downloaded and installed "IBM Message Service client for C/C++" (in Solaris 5.8) to publish messages to Websphere MQ Topics using C++ programs.

In general, if you are having a problem compiling Open Source code with Sun Studio, you need to try the community support portal for that code.
Start with the Iperf home page
[http://starplane.org/tooldoc/iperf/]
Often, Open Source code has been tried only with gcc, and won't build with other compilers without some effort.
If nobody else has tried using Sun Studio, you might need to do some debugging of configuration scripts and even source code.
The Iperf home page provides an address where you can report such problems.
In addition, older versions of autoconf and libtool don't work with Sun Studio, and can generate invalid makefiles. Be sure you have the current versions of both, if they are used by Iperf.

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.

Volunteer needed to help debug a Boost library in Sun Studio

Hello,
I've recently added a new Boost library called Boost.Flyweight to this project's
internal repository
[http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/flyweight/doc/index.html]
and found out that Sun Studio (versions 5.7 thru 5.9) have runtime problems with
a particular library test, as described in
[http://lists.boost.org/boost-testing/2008/12/6048.php]
My requests for help at the Boost mailing lists have met no response, so I'm
looking here for volunteers to help debug this problem. Basically I need someone
with access to Sun Studio and some C++ fluency (and familiarity with
Boost is a plus, too). I'd be trying to provide as much support as possible
during the process. In return the kind volunteer will receive my eternal gratitude
and an entry in the lib's acknowledgements section.
If you're interested please drop me an email to joaquin at tid.es
Thank you very much,

The problem has been identified as a compiler bug, and bug number 6782987 has been filed for it.
The bug report will be visible at bugs.sun.com in a day or two.
Compiler versions earlier than 5.9 (Sun Studio 12) are not very good a compiling BOOST, but this particular bug exists in the latest development compiler. One of our engineers is looking for a workaround, and he will post something here if he finds one.
A fix for this bug should show up in a future patch to Sun Studio 12. If you have a service contract with Sun, you can escalate this bug for faster service, and get a pre-release version of the compiler patch.

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.

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,

Problems with sun studio 12 in suse linux 11

Hi.
I installed Sun Studio 12 suse linux with no problems. However, the debugging modules (DBX) are not working any more. When I started Sun Studio, it gave a message about modules that could not be loaded in tha moment. I did not pay attention. But I noticed that all debugging options were disabled.
Using the module manager, I saw the DBX module was not checked, and I could not change it. I was marked with a red X. So I thought to reinstall the application. However, the uninstall utility doesn't work either.
According with the documentation, running ./uninstaller does it, but I get the following error message instead
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: uninstall_Sun_Studio_12/class
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: uninstall_Sun_Studio_12.class
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)

at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:276)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)
I tried to uninstall manually, and then execute installer, by using first the software manager in linux and deleting the producregistry file manually. It worked because I executed the installer. However, in Sun Studio IDE, debugging options are still not available despite I "reinstalled" the application. I checked the log files and they say the file uninstall_Sun_Studio_12.class could not be written.
So my questions are:
1. Is there any other way to repair Sun Studio? What could be the possible for this module to stop working?
2. Does anyone have an idea of why the installer cannot write the uninstaller class?
I found that perhaps problems regarding Java / Netbeans versions could be the problem, but the ones I have installed are those packages that were installed along with Sun Studio, and both are valid.
Thank you very much.

Perhaps you can simply delete the Sun Studio 12 installation tree, because it will not work on SUSE Linux 11.
This OS is not supported, so any problems you see with SS12 on SUSE 11 will not be fixed.
But we have a newer version, that should work better.
You can try to download and install Sun Studio Express 2008/11 (extract pre-installed image from tar.bz2 file).
Here is a pointer to the web page:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/express
All you need is to provide a email address, and press "Download Now" button.
You will see a page, that gives you 2 options to download Sun Studio Express 2008/11.
Use "Option 2": Download Tarfile Installer
Thanks,
Nik

What happened to GUI development in Sun Studio 12

Sun Studio 11 had xdesigner more/less integrated with it so you could develop windows (gui) apps. I cannot find anything in SunStudio 12 to enable me to develop C++ gui apps. Even netbeans doesn't seem to be integrated with sunstudio and has to launched/run separately. Am I missing something? Can I no longer create/maintain xwindow apps when using sunstudio 12?

The X-designer that shipped with Studio 11 was already quite old and out-of-date, so we stopped shipping it as of Studio 12. (It's hard to justify paying for new 3rd-party software to ship with a free product.) Design tools are available from various other sources.
Current versions of Sun Studio require a special version of NetBeans -- you can't use the generic NB that you get from netbeans.org with the compilers and debugger. You can of course install the generic NB in addition to the one that comes with Sun Studio, and use it for other purposes. For example, on my system I installed the current NB in a directory parallel to the one used by Sun Studio.
Future versions of Sun Studio will use a generic NetBeans, eliminating this particular inconvenience.

Andrew,
What java is in your path? (Use java -version to determine this). If you use java 1.4 that might be the reason. Please try java 1.5 or 1.6.

Reset to the default windows in Sun Studio 10

Hi,
I have messed around with the window layout in sun studio and I cannot find an option to restore the layout to the default. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Yes I had thought of that, but that will delete all the projects I have set up. I was hoping there was less sledgehammery approach.
But thanks for the suggestion.

Remote compile and debug on Sun Studio

I am currently working with sun studio on my linux station.
is there a way to compile the source code that I edit on the Solaris server using solaris compiler (not Gnu compiler).
Is there a way to debug this program while I'm running the Sun studio session on the Linux.
Currently I have to logon to my server, start studio on it (set DISPLAY to my Linux) and work from the server.
Tnx, Avikosan

I think your question has two parts:
Q: Can I compile on Solaris and generate code that will run on Linux?
A: No. Sun compilers do not support cross-compilation. You must build on a platform compatible with the target. To generate code to be used on Linux, you must build on Linux. Current releases of Sun compilers do not run on or generate code for Linux.
We have "technology previews" of Linux compilers on the Sun Studio web page. These compilers are not released, and are not fully functional. Go to
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio
click the "downloads" tab, then the "technology preview" menu item.
Q: Can I run the debugger and GUI on Linux?
A: Yes, if you are using Sun Studio 10 or later. The debugger and GUI are available in Linux versions. The Sun Studio 11 version is free. You can get it from the Sun Studio page listed above.
