Sun Studio 11 Software
Sun Studio™ 11 software provides a comprehensive, productive environment for
developing reliable, scalable, high-performance applications using C, C++, and
Fortran for the Solaris Operating System. The software package includes compilers,
performance analysis tools, and a powerful debugger, as well as an integrated
development environment (IDE).
The Sun Studio 11 IDE provides modules for creating, editing, building, debugging,
and analyzing the performance of a C, C++, or Fortran application. It includes a set
of basic Java™ language support modules that can be enabled if needed for JNI
(Java Native Interface) development.
The Sun Studio 11 software consists of two major components:
■
The Sun Studio component, which includes the IDE, compilers, tools, and core
platform
■
The Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) technology on which the core
platform runs
