Hi,
the current common/doc/building.md [1] file mentions Studio 12 Update
4 with several patches as the minimal build requirement for jdk9 on
Solaris. Is this information still up to date and do you plan to use
the mentioned versions for the Java 9 GA build?
We have no plans for changing any compiler versions before 9 GA.
Does somebody know how I can find out the exact patch levels of the
installed Studio compiler/backend versions if I'm using a version of
Studio which isn't installed locally but on a network share? I tried
"-V -verbose=version" but it only shows:
$ CC -V -verbose=version
CC: Sun C++ 5.13 SunOS_sparc 2014/10/20
I've also tried the 'version' tool with the same result:
$ version cc
cc: Sun C 5.13 SunOS_sparc 2014/10/20
The version tool recommends using pkginfo/pkg to get the exact version
of the installed studio components, but this obviously doesn't work
for a network installation.
I don't think there is a way unfortunately. The package versions listed
in the documentation is the version for each package that was the latest
available when I happened to install them, when I created our compiler
package. It does seem like the date printed is significant however. In
our compiler package, cc and CC report this:
$ cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.13 SunOS_i386 2014/10/20
$ CC -V
CC: Sun C++ 5.13 SunOS_i386 151846-10 2015/10/30
So it would seem our C++ compiler is newer than yours. I do remember
there were bugs in the earlier versions of 12.4 C++ which we required
fixes for before we could switch, so I think you should probably try to
upgrade.

Thank you and best regards,
