Sun Studio in ClearCase?

Hello all,
we want to import the Sun Studio 8 C++ distribution
into ClearCase, in order to be able versionize it.
I don't know if this is practical, but is it possible at
all?
In general, is Sun Studio, once installed in /opt
relocatable to, lets say /vobs/compilers just
by a 'cp -rp'? What happens with subsequent
patches? Can /opt/SUNWspro be deinstalled
afterwards?
Any comments/experiences?

at all?
In general, is Sun Studio, once installed in /opt
relocatable to, lets say /vobs/compilers just
by a 'cp -rp'? Sun Studio is installed via packages, which go into a defined location, recorded in the package database on the computer. Patches are tied to the installation location. If you move an installation, it will not match the package database, and patching will probably be difficult or impossible.
You can install Sun Studio where ever you want. If you want to move it to another directory on the same computer, you should completely uninstall it, then reinstall in the new location.
Package discipline is sometimes a pain in the neck, but it is the mechanism that ensures a known and consistent state for an installation and its patches.
Here is a possible workaround.
Create a tarball of an existing Sun Studio installation. You can un-tar into some other location -- let's call it SS8. You can run Studio from SS8. You cannot patch the installation in SS8. You can patch the original installation, then create a new tarball for copying to SS8. (Patches sometimes have non-obvious effects, so create a complete tarball instead of just copying the files you think have changed.)
A Sun Studio installation includes quite a number of symbolic links. The symbolic links are either relative, or point into fixed system directories like /usr/lib. Do not use tar's "h" option that follows symbolic links. You need to preserve the links in the new location.
For the same reason, you should not use cp to copy an installation. You will get copies of files that should be symbolic links.

Sun Studio 11 with Rational ClearCase (for its VCS)

I'm trying to use Sun Studio 11 with Rational ClearCase.
IMHO, it is possible to use ClearCase in it as a VCS,
because an error message in Sun Studio 11 indicated http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profile/ to add external VCS support.
Then, my questions are...
1. Is it possible to use Rational ClearCase for the VCS?
2. If it is possible, which module do I have to get from the site
(http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/)?
3. How to Install it into Sun Studio 11?
Thanks in advance.

First of all - Sun Studio IDE is shipped without Clear Case support,
and there is no official way to add this feature. Technically it is possible
to add a plugin module, compatible with NetBeans 3.5, which will
provide Clear Case support, but it is not a supported configuration.
So it is not recommended to experiment with a Sun Studio installation,
which is used in real job. The answers below are mostly my guess,
because we did not try Sun Studio with Clear Case.
1. Is it possible to use Rational ClearCase
for the VCS?Yes, I think there is a ClearCase plugin module for Netbeans 3.5:
http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/index.html
2. If it is possible, which module do I have to get
from the site
(http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/)?
I think this one:
http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/files/documents/67/117/clearcase-profile.nbm
. How to Install it into Sun Studio 11?You have to be able to write to the installation tree, which means you
have to be root, or you have to change access modes. This module
will be installed in /opt/netbeans/3.5V11/ directory, so this directory
and its subdirectories should be writable for you. You have to start
Netbeans using script /opt/netbeans/3.5V11/ bin/runide.sh, and
upgrade it with the new plugin module. I can provide more details,
but I want to repeat again, that this is unsupported configuration,
so if you want to try it on your own system as an experiment -
let me know, I'll describe the process in details.
Sorry about this problem.
Thanks,
Nik

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

Installing Sun Studio 12 on Ubuntu 8.04

When I try to install Sun Studio 12 with the graphical installer, I get a message half was through that Java is not installed. In my case Sun's Java was already installed. I tell the Sun Studio installer to do the update and it finished what it was doing. After the install is done, I found that the Sun Studio executable is missing, so it looked like the installation did not work. What version of Java is Sun Studio expecting and does it need to be tied to a specific path? Is there a known method for installing Java for Sun Studio 12?
After this I uninstalled Java and Netbeans and started the system prep tool, which correctly said I was missing netbeans and java. I had the system prep tool install netbeans successfully but I get this message when trying to install java:
error: Failed dependencies:

Any suggestions?

I could not find any log files with error information from Express or Sun Studio 12. Any ideas?Not yet :-) Can you try to build and debug a sample project? Does it show the same problem?
I mean one of several sample projects, that are shipped with the Sun Studio IDE.
Start "sunstudio", from main menu: "File->New Project", select Samples->C/C++/Fortran->Welcome
Did you try to run compilers and other tools?
Please, make sure they work. For example, run the following commands:
cc -V
CC -V
f90 -V
collect -V
dbx -V
dmake -v
(Note: the last one is small "v")

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?

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.
Regards,
Ola

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.

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

I can�t install Sun Studio 11 in Solaris 8

Hello!!
We are trying to install Sun Studio 11 on our Server.
The server is running under Solaris 8, we install J2SE 1.4.2_10 SDK prior to run the Sun Studio installer, but when we run the installer, it report the following error

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:

I can see a netbeans directory was created as part of the install, but I'm not sure why sun studio thinks netbeans is not available (afraid my knowledge about netbeans is practically non existent):

Our server details are:

SunOS a03714 5.10 Generic_142900-03 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5440
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.

Sun Studio 12u1 cc passes empty filename strings to the linker

Hi,
Sun Studio 12u1 cc passes empty filename strings to the linker, as demonstrated with the following
trivial test case.
This problem occurs while trying to compile the Boost 1.42 beta 1 libraries with Sun Studio 12u1.

Building NCAR Graphics 5.2.1 on Solaris 10 x86u9 under Sun Studio 10 (2005)

Hello,
I've got the following error when compiling ncar program with Sun
cc and f90 and /usr/ccs/bin/ld.
cc -ansi -O -I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/include/X11 -DSYSV -
D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DByteSwapped -Di386 -DNeedFuncProto -
c cl.c
cc: Warning: illegal option -nsi
cc: -a conflicts with -dy.
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `cl.o'
After that i've changed the config/SolarisPC file and tried a build with gcc 3.4.3 and f90 but I got
ld fatal: library -lc not found.
I have an old box from 2001 which was under HCL of Solaris 8 x86.
The people at NCAR did not update their configuration files for Solaris 10 x86. The SolarisPC file is old and is using by default g77 as the fortran compiler. Could I mix gcc with f90 ? Which linker should I use in that case?
/usr/ccs/bin/ld or /usr/ucb/ld?

Please refer to the C Users Guide for details of cc command line options. All manuals for Sun Studio 12u1 are listed here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19205-01/index.html
There is no -ansi option in Sun/Oracle C, nor has there ever been. The compiler attempts to interpret it as -a followed by some other letters, which is why you get a complaint about -a. Remove the option.
Depending on what you expect from the -ansi option, either the default compiler behavior or the -Xc option should work. I suggest trying the default behavior (no -X option). Refer to the manual for details.
Always use the /usr/ccs/bin/ld linker, but you normally should not use the ld linker directly. If you mixing C and Fortran, use the f90 driver to do the linking; it knows what Fortran libraries need to be linked, depending on command line option. When linking a program using only C, use the cc driver to link. Some C command-line options require linking special system files; the cc and f90 drivers know the rules.
To mix Fortran with C, refer to the Fortran Users Guide. I recommend using the Studio C compiler when mixing code, not gcc. The requirements of gcc are not known to the f90 driver, but it does know the requirements of Studio C.
The schema for a mixed Fortran and C program is something like this:
cc -c f1.c f2.c <other options>
f90 -c f3.f90 f4.f90 <other options>
f90 -o myprog f1.o f2.0 f3.0 f4.0 <other options>
