Will Boost build in entirety on Solaris? I'd like to know if anyone has success with this (specifically Proto/Spirit) before I go and pay for a support contract to patch Sun Studio 12.2 to the latest. I get a few errors and some look to have been resolved in patches, but it's not cheap to pay Oracle for support so I'd rather some hope that it will work before I do. Right now, I'm just trying to use cpp-netlib on Solaris and decode some JSON fetched over HTTP using Boost Property Tree. It works fine on Mac OS X - so I'm hoping I can use the same code on Solaris. If you look at http://www.boost

This question is related to this one as well as its answer. I just discovered some ugliness in a build I'm working on. The situation looks somewhat like the following (written in gmake format); note, this specifically applies to a 32-bit memory model on sparc and x86 hardware: OBJ_SET1 := some objects OBJ_SET2 := some objects # note: OBJ_SET2 doesn't get this flag ${OBJ_SET1} : CCFLAGS += -PIC ${OBJ_SET1} ${OBJ_SET2} : %.o : %.cc ${CCC} ${CCFLAGS} -m32 -o ${@} -c ${<} obj1.o : ${OBJ_SET1} obj2.o : ${OBJ_SET2} sharedlib.so : obj1.o obj2.o obj1.o obj2.o sharedlib.so : ${LINK} ${LDFLAGS} -m32

The STLport bundled with the SunStudio11 generates alot of warnings. I beleive most compilers have a way to disable warnings from certain source files, like this: Sun C #pragma error_messages off #include <header.h> // ... #pragma error_messages on gcc #pragma warning(push, 0) #include <header.h> // ... #pragma warning(pop) How do you do this in the SunStudio C++ compiler? (btw, the sunstudio C pragmas don't work in sunstudio C++) In SunStudio 12, the #pragma error_messages work as documented in the C users manual. You can see the tags with the -errtags=yes option, and use it like this: //

What is the best practice for swapping __m128i variables? The background is a compile error under Sun Studio 12.2 , which is a C++03 compiler. __m128i is an opaque type used with MMX and SSE instructions, and its usually and unsigned long long[2] . C++03 does not provide the support for swapping arrays, and std:swap(__m128i a, __m128i b) fails under the compiler. Here are some related questions that don't quite hit the mark. They don't apply because std::vector is not available. How can we swap 2 arrays in constant complexity or O(1)? Is it possible to swap arrays of structs C++03 moving a

I need to build an application with Sun Studio. This application uses a shared library which can only be build with Gnu C++. The shared lib has a C Interface, so that the code is callable by the Sun Compiler (this is to avoid name mangling issues, see also this question ). Everything besides exception handling works fine. When an exception is thrown in the shared library, the program segfaults. This happens only when the main program is compiled using the Sun Studio Compiler. Compiling the minimal example below with the Gnu C++ compiler, the program works fine and the shared lib detects the
