I've finally managed to get myself a decent spec SUN workstation and thanks to SUN now providing SunStudio 11 for the cost of a download, the latest compiler as well.
Is this a download available to the public? By the way do you run a x86 based or SPARC based work station? I belive Sun claim source compatibility on Solaris10 but it would be nice to know what you are working on.
Just got the whole shebang installed and attempted to compile boost without any configuration apart from adding the compiler to my path. The result looks pretty good so far - there are still a couple of compilation issues (most seem to be centred around type_traits/is_enum.hpp) and several link failures. I'll be looking into these hopefully over the next couple of weeks. So far, the overall results look a lot better compared to Studio 8 - after a build of the 'state' target with the basic sunpro tool set and absolutely no changes to the existing 1.33.1 configuration, bjam reports the following:
Hmmm - are there work-arounds for known compiler bugs activated in boost config when you set sunpro? If there are, they may be worth looking into. I am saying this because I am hopeful Sun are fixing their compiler. This is based on statements that they intend to support Boost with their compiler - and they do not seem to participate in efforts to add workarounds for their bugs in Boost.
...failed updating 360 targets... ...skipped 192 targets... ...updated 877 targets...
the numbers seem to be low to me, I get more than 9000 targets for all of boost. Do you try with all of boost or only parts?
IME that's a massive improvement over results I got previously.
Once I got to look into the problems above I should be able to set up a regular regression test and provide the results but I'm probably getting a tad ahead of myself...
sounds good. regards, Bjorn Roald -- hopefull :)
