Operating Environments

The C++ compiler (CC) integrates with other Sun development tools, such as the Sun(TM) WorkShop(TM) and the C compiler. The Sun C++ compiler and its runtime library are part of the Sun(TM) Visual WorkShop(TM) C++. You can use these components to develop threaded applications in multiprocessor Solaris(TM) 2.5.1, 2.6, and in Solaris 7 operating environments.

The name of the operating environment is Solaris 7, but code and path or package path names might use Solaris 2.7 or SunOS(TM) 5.7. Always follow the code or path as it is written.

Release 5.0 of CC is available in the Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, and Solaris 7 operating environments on SPARC(TM) and x86 devices.

Features that are unique to a particular operating environment or hardware platform are so indicated. However, most aspects of the compilers on these systems are the same, including functionality, behavior, and features. The multiprocessor features are available as part of the Sun WorkShop on the SPARC platform with Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, and Solaris 7 software, and require a Sun WorkShop license.

See the C++ README files for details.
