A.2.7 –compat[={4|5}]

Sets the major release compatibility mode of the compiler. This option controls the __SUNPRO_CC_COMPAT and __cplusplus macros.

The C++ compiler has two principal modes. The compatibility mode accepts ARM semantics and language defined by the 4.2 compiler. The standard mode accepts constructs according to the ANSI/ISO standard. These two modes are incompatible with each other because the ANSI/ISO standard forces significant, incompatible changes in name mangling, vtable layout, and other ABI details. These two modes are differentiated by the –compat option as shown in the following values.
