We have Oracle Solaris Studio. I have not patched it in awhile. We did have support some years ago - but when I inquired about it I was told that the patches are free, the support is if you need help "using" it, so we dropped support.
It's my understanding that gcc uses (or can use) the Solaris Studio code generator (my words) - I don't know if this is for both SPARC and X86, or just SPARC. I have not used gcc or Solaris Studio - so have no experience with either.

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?
