implement GNU compiler extensions like Intel have?
I doubt it, and I sure hope
not. Rampant, undisciplined use of the GCC
"extensions" cause great gnashing of teeth for everyone not running GCC under
Linux on a PC.
Well, the release notes mention this as system requirement:
Compilers GCC 3.3 family on Sun Java Desktop System, Release 3 and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
GCC 3.4 family on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4
(gcc compiler and g++ compiler only, g77 compiler is not supported)
And the introduction says:
Sun Studio 11 software provides a comprehensive, productive environment
for developing applications using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) for
the Linux operating system.
So Sun Studio for Linux is just a crappy Java based IDE for GCC.
