Merely a polite question to anyone out there that still has Solaris
systems doing compile work AND you are still using Oracle Solaris Studio
12 or 12.3 releases.
Has anyone bothered to spend the money for the separate support on
the compiler tools and was it worth the expense as near as you can
tell?
Why?
I see this often in my pca reports and often wonder if I should just
kick out the $1500 that Oracle wants or just use GCC :
root@sunback # grep "Studio" ./pca_data/sunback/patch_report_missing

Not sure why Oracle separated out the compilers from the normal support
contracts. Other than to get an additional 0.01% revenue from the one
person in 10,000 that still has these things running.
Anyways, wonder if anyone has seen any benefit or is it just another
waste of money to Oracle.
