When I do a build, I always update and patch my tools, such as Studio 12.3,
before I compile for each release.
I have not yet installed the patches below because we have not had a
build/release since the patches came out.
When we build, I do use the optimizations in the compiler specific to the
platform we are deploying on. These are not all available w/ GCC.
I just tried to download 148917-07.zip which is in your list below. It worked
for me, but I'm not paying any extra for Oracle Solaris Studio support.
Perhaps its included in something else I'm paying for? I'm not sure. Are you
saying you can't download it?
I have had a support contract for years and I can tell you that the
compiler patches are not free. I tried to call Oracle about this
and they bounced me around for months ( yes months ) before handing
me over to a third party that told me the Oracle Studio tools were
a free download and thus there are no patches.
I kid you not. I have all the emails.
So I went full circle until I was shown this :
http://www.oracle.com/us/support/development-tools/index.html
click on Oracle Solaris Development Tools Support

and you see a nice price there.
So it looks to be a pay more money to get support but no one seems to know
anything about the patches to update the Studio Compiler.
Really frustrating.
