I recently had a couple of projects where I needed to write some signal handling code. I figured it would be helpful to write up a short article on my experiences.The article contains two examples. The first is using a timer to write a simple profiler for an application - so you can find out what code is currently being executed. The second is potentially more esoteric - handling illegal instructions. This is probably worth explaining a bit.When a SPARC processor hits an...

This article came out a week or so back. It's a quick overview, from Steve Clamage and myself, of the C++11 tuple and array containers.When you take a look at the page, I want you to take a look at the "about the authors" section on the right. I've been chatting to various people and we came up with this as a way to make the page more interesting, and also to make the "see also" suggestions more obvious. Let me know if you have any ideas for further improvements.

Obviously, the point of the Solaris Studio 12.4 Beta programme was for everyone to try out the new version of the compiler and tools, and for us to gather feedback on what was working, what was broken, and what was missing. We've had lots of useful feedback - you can see some of it on the forums. But we're after more.Hence we have a Solaris Studio 12.4 Beta survey where you can tell us more about your experiences. Your comments are really helpful to us. Thanks.

We're doing something different with the Studio 12.4 Beta programme. We're also putting together some material about the compiler and features: videos, whitepapers, etc.One of the first videos is now officially available. You might have seen the preproduction "leak" if you happen to follow Studio on either facebook or twitter.This first video is an interview with Raj Prakash, the project lead for the Code Analyzer.The Code Analyzer is our suite for checking the correctness of...

Sometimes you need to include directives in macros. The classic example would be putting OpenMP directives into macros. The "obvious" way of doing this is:#define BARRIER \#pragma omp barriervoid foo(){ BARRIER}Which produces the following error:"test.c", line 6: invalid source character: '#'"test.c", line 6: undefined symbol: pragma"test.c", line 6: syntax error before or at: ompFortunately C99 introduced the _Pragma mechanism to solve this problem. So the functioning code...
