Building High-Performing Applications with Sun Studio C/C++/Fortran Compilers
The Sun Studio C, C++, and Fortran compilers include advanced features for building high performance
applications on Solaris and Linux SPARC and x86/x64 platforms. These compilers utilize a common optimizing backend code generator, and accept standard C, C++, and Fortran with extensions.
The C compiler (cc) is in full compliance with ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Language - C and is available on Solaris platforms when you compile with the -xc99 option. This compiler supports all C language features of ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Language - C on all supported operating systems.
The C++ compiler (CC) supports the ISO International Standard for C++, ISO IS 14882:2003, Programming Language C++.
The Fortran compiler (f95) conforms to part one of the ISO/IEC 1539-1:1997 Fortran standards document. The compiler also provides a Fortran 77 compatibility mode that accepts most legacy Fortran 77 source codes.
Compiler Options
