Oracle Developer Studio, formerly namedOracle Solaris Studio,Sun Studio,Sun WorkShop,Forte Developer, andSunPro Compilers, is theOracle Corporation's flagship software development product for theSolaris andLinuxoperating systems. It includes optimizing C, C++, and Fortrancompilers, libraries, and performance analysis and debugging tools, for Solaris on SPARC and x86 platforms, and Linux on x86/x64 platforms, including multi-core systems.
Oracle Developer Studio is downloadable and usable at no charge; however, there are many security and functionality patch updates which are only available with a support contract from Oracle.[3]
Version 12.4 added partial support for theC++11 language standard.[4] All C++11 features are supported except for concurrency and atomic operations, and user-defined literals. Version 12.6 supports theC++14 language standard.[5]
The Oracle Developer software suite includes:
A commonoptimizing backend is used for code generation.
A high-level intermediate representation calledSun IR is used, and high-level optimizations done in theiropt (intermediate representation optimizer) component are operated at the Sun IR level. Major optimizations include:
-xvector=simd
TheOpenMP shared memory parallelization API is native to all three compilers.
Tcov, a sourcecode coverage analysis and statement-by-statement profiling tool, comes as a standard utility. Tcov generates exact counts of the number of times each statement in a program is executed and annotatessource code to add instrumentation.
The tcov utility gives information on how often aprogram executes segments of code. It produces a copy of the source file, annotated with execution frequencies. The code can be annotated at thebasic block level or the source line level. As the statements in a basic block are executed the same number of times, a count of basic block executions equals the number of times each statement in the block is executed. The tcov utility does not produce any time-based data.
The GCC for SPARC Systems (GCCFSS) compiler usesGNU Compiler Collection's (GCC) front end with the Oracle Developer Studio compiler's code-generating back end. Thus, GCCFSS is able to handle GCC-specific compiler directives, while it is also able to take advantage of the compiler optimizations in the compiler's back end. This greatly facilitates the porting of GCC-based applications to SPARC systems.
GCCFSS 4.2 adds the ability to be used as across compiler; SPARC binaries can be generated on an x86 (or x64) machine running Solaris.[8]
Before its cancellation, theRock would have been the first general-purpose processor to supporthardwaretransactional memory (HTM). The Oracle Developer Studio compiler is used by a number of research projects, includingHybrid Transactional Memory (HyTM)[9] andPhased Transactional Memory (PhTM),[10] to investigate support and possible HTM optimizations.
