We've only started adding serious gcc compatibility features to the Sun compilers in the last release We still have a ways to go. If you can identify specific features that we should add it will help us get those features fully implemented in a stable and documented way for the next release. We make features into wizard options for good reasons, they are untested, or known to have major problems. By the way, people inside Sun have just as much trouble using undocumented features as people outside Sun. ;-} There's really no special advantage to being inside Sun as far as this subject goes. One reason the compiler team adds wizard options is to work around special, obscure problems for important customers. One of these important customers in the Solaris team. Sometimes the changes are made at the last minute before a release, or in a patch. So that's a perfect reason to leave them undocumented and turned off by default. tools-compilers is also a good way to follow up on compiler specific issues. --chris _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list [email protected]
