The production version of the Sun Studio 12 program development
suite is now available for download at no charge from
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio.

The marketing note I received says:

What is Sun Studio? Previously known as the SunOS compilers,
SPARCworks, Sun Workshop, Forte Developer, and Sun ONE Studio,
Sun Studio 12 includes the following key components:

* Parallelizing C, C++, and Fortran compilers
* Next-generation IDE based on NetBeans 5.5.1
* Code-level debugger
* Memory debugger
* Performance profiler
* OpenMP support
* Optimized libraries, including Sun Performance Library
* Multithreading tools

It also lists the following enhancements:

* Brand new IDE
* Compilers for Linux (first ever!)
[ the first production versions of C, C++ and f95 for Linux from
Sun, anyway ]
* New multithreading/multicore tools, including the new Thread
Analyzer
* Outstanding Performance- up to 25% increase over Sun Studio 11
(& up to 80% over GCC 4.1)
* Improved GCC compatibility to ease adoption

I am not sure what you are asking. If you are asking if
the C compiler supplied with Sun Studio 12 conforms to
the C99 standard, the answer is yes, up to bugs. If you
are asking if the Sun Studio 12 Fortran compiler implements
BIND(C) and allows linking with code generated by the GNU
C compiler, the answer is again yes, up to bugs.

I don't really use this IDE even though I have had access to
SPARCworks, workshop, etc, for years. Only when I run into a stubborn
bug do I fall back to it but only as a debugger...and I tell you, back
when it was not Netbeans-based I seem to recall that it used to start
right away, now that it is Netbeans-based it takes such a long time!

I would like to download this software, but I had trouble with it last time.
I wouldn't care so much about getting the download %100 correct except that
I've got a brand new OS (XP), and don't want to be ripping software suites
in and out. I already have an identity with Sun.

Can I take up the install with you personally?

Sun Studio 12 supports Solaris and some flavors of Linux.
It has not been ported to Windows.

That's the rub. It probably wouldn't kill me to have a non-windows
partition. I've got a gentoo disk as well as a Caldera 2.2. I've got a
little bit of a budget too. Does Solaris come with a single executable for
the install for intel architecture?

I actually saw Tarkovsky's "Solaris" in my Russian film class, which was by
far my favorite class of that semester.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Sun's Solaris Developer Express
DVD contains both Solaris Nevada and Sun Studio, but not the
production versions of them.

I've taken up this issue at alt.solaris.x86, where I had the good fortune to
run into a buddy. Many of the downloads from Sun burn an image onto either
cd or dvd.
