I love opensource software, I use it every day, but sometimes a component I need is either not present in or at the wrong version in Oracle Solaris. We often hear the same requests from our customers too. Please can I have version x.y of opensource software FOO on Oracle Solaris 11.4. Oracle Solaris depends heavily on opensource software and we try to keep them reasonably up to date, while being careful not to break anything. However we don't have every peice of opensource...

Guest Author: Petr Sumbera As you may know, a new OpenJDK 12 was released which you might want to try on Oracle Solaris. There are already some great blog posts out by Martin Mueller and Andrew Watkins describing how to build recent OpenJDK versions from sources. But there is an issue. To build OpenJDK you will always need previous version as a boot JDK. Basically to build OpenJDK 12 you will need OpenJDK 11 and so on. For SPARC it's rather easy as you can download Java SE...

Author: Darryl Gove A good question about data (mis)alignment is "Where did it come from?". So here's a reasonably detailed answer to that... If the compiler has generated the code for you and you've not done anything "weird" then the data should be correctly aligned. So most apps don't have misaligned data, and most of the time you (as a developer) don't have to worry about it. For example, if you allocate a local variable, or a global variable, then the compiler will...

Author: Darryl Gove A long time ago I described how misaligned loads appeared in profiles of 32-bit applications. Since then we've changed the level of detail presented in the Performance Analyzer. When I wrote the article the time spent on-cpu that wasn't User time was grouped as System time. We've now started showing more detail - and more detail is good. Here's a similar bit of code: #include <stdio.h> static int i,j; volatile double *d; void main () { char a[10];...

Author: Darryl Gove Solaris Studio has an IDE based on NetBeans.org, one of the features of the IDE is its ability to do remote development - ie do your development work on a Windows laptop while doing the builds on a remote Solaris or Linux box. Vladimir has written up a nice how-to guide covering the three models that Studio supports: As shown in the image, the three models are: Fully remote. The source and builds remain on the remote system. Mixed/shared. The source is on...
