Sun^H^H^HSolaris Studio 12 update 2 has been released.
This native Solaris compiler suite has had a lot of care and attention paid to it recently. It has received many impressive updates & new features recently.
This latest update renames the product from Sun Studio to Oracle Solaris Studio.
Highlights include :
+ Improved performance and improved code generation
+ Improved support for newer CPUs
+ Better diagnostics
+ Improved support for OpenMP & Linux
+ Many improvements to Performance Analysis tools & dbx
+ Improvements to DLight
Excellent highlight for me was the improvements to dbxtool and the inclusion of the brand new Discover memory debugging tool. It appears to be similar in functionality to Valgrind, which will be a great help when debugging Solaris apps.
