What Is Oracle Solaris Studio?

Oracle Solaris Studio comprises a suite of tools for application development on Solaris and Linux operating environments:

• High performance optimizing compilers and runtime libraries for C, C++, and Fortran (cc, CC, and f95) that natively implement the OpenMP 3.0 API for shared memory parallelization

• The scriptable and multithread aware interactive dbx debugger and dbxtool debugger GUI

• New tools for discovering memory leaks and code coverage, discover and uncover

• The highly optimized and multithreaded Sun Performance Library

• A Performance Analyzer to profile single- and multi-threaded applications to detect performance bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and DLight for system profiling using DTrace technology on Solaris environments.

• A Thread Analyzer to identify potential and hard-to-detect data race and deadlock conditions at runtime before they occur in multithreaded applications.

• An IDE tailored for use with the component compilers, debugger, and analysis tools, along with a code-aware editor, workflow, and project functionality for building applications.
