Sun Studio Express - February 2008 download link points to internal site

The download link at http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/ssx/readme.html, part 4 points to a Sun internal
site (http://dscpreview.sfbay/sunstudio/downloads/express.jsp).
Can this be fixed ?

Not exactly the same topic, but it is not currently possible to download the express edition of Sun Studio due to an error that occurs when submitting an email address. The error given (from http://subscriptions.sun.com/util/sunmail.jsp) is:
Error : Requested action failed for the email address [email protected]
SunMailThread : nullAttempting to use the "Send Comments" link is also met with failure. After I fill out all the information, it sends me to a page with just the first and last name fields highlighted, as if to tell me they need to be filled in (yet - they are), but there is no form to submit on this page. Hence, I am stuck.
So, I come here in hopes that both these problems get fixed sometime!

Hi,
we are currently using SunStudio 12. I have noticed that early access product, SunStudio Express, Feb2008. It seems that new features coming from NetBeans 6.0 have contributed to SunStudio IDE. I prefer to use SunStudio Express IDE. But i have also noticed that sun CC compiler version is also different. Actually it is no surprise, since SunStudio is a complete product composed of compilers, tools and IDE.Now, i am quite doubtful whether we should use SunStudioExpress. That's why i want to learn when official new release for SunStudio will be announced.
Though i have searched internet, i couldn't notice any news about the next official release of Sun Studio( Sun Studio 13 ). When will this early release( SunStudio Express, Feb 2008 ) be released as SunStudio13? What is the release roadmap of SunStudio?

Compiling MySQL 5.1.26-rc with Sun Studio Express on Linux?

I managed to compile MySQL 5.1.26-rc with Sun Studio Express on Linux (OpenSuse 10.2 on x64), but I get unexpected crashes every time a connection thread exits:

Here is the compilation script, it downloads and extracts the source tree and builds it (it assumes Sun Studio Express is installed in /opt/sun):

Thanks.

Possibly the actual CC (or cc) command lines are not correct. The proper way to say not to link libCstd is the command-line option -library=no%Cstd. Then you don't need to add the default system libraries like -lc to the command line.
Can you show the actual CC command lines that are generated by the makefile? They should be in the compilation log. I'd also like to see the command line(s) used to create dynamic libraries, if any, and the final executable.

Difference between Sun Studio 12u1 and Sun Studio Express...

Hi,
on my open solaris:
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc
I've installed Sun Studio Express to get the C/C++ compilers. What is the difference with the Sun Studio 12 suite (which is about 200 MB larger than the Express one)? Also I saw there are patches for Sun Studio 12 (last one Jul 20 2009) that might have a fix for a problem I just reported. How can I install such patches?
Patch: http://sunsolve.sun.co.jp/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-126498-14-1
Cheers, Fons.

Studio Express is a pre-release or beta release. Some features may be missing or not functional. It cannot be patched. It can be replaced by a later release.
Sun Studio 12 update 1 is an actual, supported release, later than the most recent (as of this date) Studio Express. If you install SS12u1 from packages (using the installer GUI for example), you can download and install patches for it as they become available. (Installations from a tar file cannot be patched; they can be replaced.)

Hello!
I googled "SSServiceTagSupport.java:257" and found out that it is filed as IZ 154094 against Netbeans:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=154094
Actually it was reported many times:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=151921
It suggests a few workarounds.
Workaround 1:
"Simple workaround is to disable registration using command line option -J-Dnb.registration.enabled=false"
Workaround 2:
"The file ~/.netbeans-registration/6.5/registration.xml is empty, so I have this file erased and restarted the IDE.
After this step, the file was not regenerated, but the IDe starts now without this problem."
Please, try one of them.
Thanks,
Nik

Sun Studio Express Feb 2007, lingering dialog box upon Debug

When I try to debug a project (say the Freeway sample application) in Sun Studio Express Feb 2007 on Solaris x86, Ultra 20, the following dialog box lingers. I am able to close it manually and debug normally however:
Loading library
/usr/lib/liblayout.so.1

Yes, I've also seen this a number of times. I don't remember what was the problem exactly (dbx <-> IDE miscommunication?), but I believe it's gone now. Please wait for stable release , it should be available soon.

Heade files in sun studio 12

Hello,
I have Sun Studio Express - February 2007 Early Access Release.
I intend to use it only in "C" projects.
I had tried to create a "C" project successfully.
When I generate a "C" header , named for example list.h, it is created thus:
#ifndef listH
#define     listH
#ifdef     __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
#ifdef     __cplusplus
#endif
#endif     /* listH */
I want to get rid of the "#ifdef     __cplusplus" so next time I will
create a "C" header file it will not be created. How do I achieve this ?
Regards,
Ian

Hi,
This is not the time which bothers me.
This is simply reduant since I am NOT working in c++, and I wish to get rid
of this lines.
The question is: how can I get rid of this lines in the template ?
or is this somehow hard coded ?
Regards,
Ian

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.

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 java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)

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

How to change Makefile file name in sun studio for linux 11?

Greetings,
For historical reasons, our makefiles are called Make.bld
Sun Studio refuses to accept these as makefiles.
It'd be a big pain to modify our entire build system to take makefile as the name.
Is there a way to instruct sun studio to accept a different filename for makefiles ?
Thanks,
Bill

There is no supported way of getting the Sun Studio IDE (or NetBeans) to recognize
Make.bld as a Makefile. However, the solution Nik pointed out with a .nbattrs file will
work.
Here is a complete file which, if copied to each directory containing a Make.bld file
will work. However, if the directory already contains a .nbattrs file you should edit
the existing one and add the <fileobject>...</fileobject> lines rather than overwriting
the entire file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE attributes PUBLIC "-//NetBeans//DTD DefaultAttributes 1.0//EN"
" http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/attributes-1_0.dtd">
<attributes version="1.0">
<fileobject name="Make.bld">
<attr name="MAKEFILE_TYPE" stringvalue="foo"/>
</fileobject>
</attributes>
Note: I split the DOCTYPE line myself. It should be a single line in the file (although
its probably OK if split, I didn't verify that so I'll suggest a single line).
I should warn you that the next release of the Sun Studio IDE will no longer use
.nbattrs files and you'll need a different solution. A preliminary version of the next
release is currently available by downloading Sun Studio Express 3. The IDE is
significantly better than the current one! You also get a lot of the same features
by downloading NetBeans 5.5 with the C/C++ Development Pack.

Sun Studio 12 on SPARC: Missing Symlinks

Missing Library Symlinks
On SPARC systems, when installing Sun Studio 12 from the "tarball" download, some important symlinks might not get installed. This could cause linker errors or strange runtime behavior from compiled programs.
Here is how you can tell if the symlinks are missing and how to create them:
If the command:
ls <install-directory>/SUNWspro/lib/sparcgets the result
sparc: No such file or directoryyou need to run the following commands (where +<install-directory>+ is the path to the location of the Sun Studio 12 installation, for example /opt )
    cd <install-directory>/SUNWspro/lib
    ln -s v8plus sparc
    ln -s v8plusa sparcvis
    ln -s v8plusb sparcvis2
    ln -s ../v9 v8plus/64
    ln -s ../v9a v8plusa/64
    ln -s ../v9b v8plusb/64Note that this only applies to the Sun Studio 12 tarball download on SPARC platforms, and not the Sun Studio Express downloads.

All Studio 10 and 11 Download Sites broken

seems all the download links on the oracle sites are broken and point in circular motion or to a paysite.
I need the Studio 10 compilers from the software Archives for compiling our software on my sparc machines running solaris 9 and 10, and went happily on with my saved sun links... or so i thought. They sent me to Oracle... so far, so good, but... the Oracle Download Pages supposed to get me to the solaris content send me through the Oracle Maze in circular motion. No way to get to the sun software archive that HAS to be here somewhere, according to oracle...
Then I tried the Studio 11 download ( not sure if it works for me though ) from the oracle download pages but here i go carouselling again.
Now I am dizzy.
If i dig in deep and try to go to the downloads from the sun archives, Oracle is asking me a support identifier, which i obviously only get if i pay, as far as i found out...
and if i try to get the studio 11 i get fooled in circles.
help!

With the acquisition of Sun, by Oracle, the Oracle Solaris Studio (frmly, Sun Studio) site has moved to the Oracle Technical Network (OTN):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solarisstudio/overview/index.html
You can download the latest release, Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2, here as well as a few older releases. The Sun Studio 11 download page has a link to a page explaining the download changes for older Sun software. That page has a link to the Sun Archive, which is available in My Oracle Support (MOS) for Oracle support customers:
https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html#tab=KBHome(page=KBHome&id=()),(page=KBNavigator&id=(from=BOOKMARK&bmDocTitle=Sun%20Archive&bmDocID=1302856.1&bmDocType=ANNOUNCEMENT&bmDocDsrc=KB&viewingMode=1143))
Sun Studio 11 is available in the Sun Archive. Sun Studio 10 can be made available via a request to Oracle Support.

Hi,
we are currently using SunStudio 12. I have noticed that early access product, SunStudio Express, Feb2008. It seems that new features coming from NetBeans 6.0 have contributed to SunStudio IDE. I prefer to use SunStudio Express IDE. But i have also noticed that sun CC compiler version is also different. Actually it is no surprise, since SunStudio is a complete product composed of compilers, tools and IDE.Now, i am quite doubtful whether we should use SunStudioExpress. That's why i want to learn when official new release for SunStudio will be announced.
Though i have searched internet, i couldn't notice any news about the next official release of Sun Studio( Sun Studio 13 ). When will this early release( SunStudio Express, Feb 2008 ) be released as SunStudio13? What is the release roadmap of SunStudio?
