Important question over here:
Are we ever going to promote hipster to /dev or /release then? This is
question in particular due to gcc/sunstudio differences.
Why not? Code is code. /hipster can be compiled with GCC,
which is an easier entry point for assorted contributors
who did not get their hands on the one needed proprietary
SunStudio version back in the day, and can't legally get
it now, at least not for installation onto their PCs (may
be it is legal to let them access a compile-farm with SS).
Then when code is promoted to /dev and ultimately /release
it can be recompiled with SS. On one hand it would give
another tool's verification opinion about the code quality,
and on another (if SS-built code so far is assumed more
stable) - the less adventurous users would have more peace
of mind with their non-experimental machines running /dev
or /release.
Hello.
It's almost unreal. We now struggle with two different compilers in
base, and the only logic way in my opinion is to just go on with GCC.
Code can't be "just recompiled", every Makefile needs its tweaks to
support one or another compiler. If it is not tested with Sun Studio in
/hipster, it will not work with Sun Studio in /dev and so it will
require inadequate amount of energy to be ported.
Why do you need Sun Studio?
