'''Oracle Developer Studio''', formerly named '''Oracle Solaris Studio''', '''Sun Studio''', '''Sun WorkShop''', '''Forte Developer''', and '''SunPro Compilers''', is the [[Oracle Corporation]]'s flagship software development product for the [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]] and [[Linux]] [[operating system]]s. It includes optimizing C, C++, and Fortran [[compiler]]s, libraries, and performance analysis and debugging tools, for Solaris on SPARC and x86 platforms, and Linux on x86/x64 platforms, including multi-core systems.

Oracle Developer Studio is downloadable and usable at no charge; however, there are many security and functionality patch updates which are only available with a support contract from Oracle.<ref>{{cite web|title=Oracle Developer Studio - Downloads |url=http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/developerstudio/downloads/index.html |publisher=Oracle Corporation|access-date=2018-03-16}}</ref>

Version 12.4 added partial support for the [[C++11]] language standard.<ref>{{citation|title=What's New in Oracle® Solaris Studio 12.4|chapter=Support for the C++11 Standard |url=http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37069_01/html/E37071/gncix.html |publisher=Oracle Corporation|access-date=2018-03-16}}</ref> All C++11 features are supported except for concurrency and atomic operations, and user-defined literals. Version 12.6 supports the [[C++14]] language standard.<ref>{{citation|title=Oracle® Developer Studio 12.6: C++ User's Guide |chapter=1.5 Standards Conformance |url=https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E77782_01/html/E77789/bkabg.html |publisher=[[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]]|access-date=2018-03-16}}</ref>

==Languages==

==Compiler optimizations==
A common [[compiler optimization|optimizing]] backend is used for code generation.

A high-level intermediate representation called ''Sun IR'' is used, and high-level optimizations done in the ''iropt'' (intermediate representation optimizer) component are operated at the Sun IR level. Major optimizations include:

* [[Copy propagation]]
* [[Constant folding]] and constant propagation
* [[Dead code elimination]]
* [[Interprocedural optimization]] analysis
* [[Loop optimization]]s
* [[Automatic parallelization]]
* [[Profile-guided optimization]]
* Scalar replacement
* [[Strength reduction]]
* [[Automatic vectorization]], with <code>-xvector=simd</code>

==OpenMP==
The [[OpenMP]] shared memory parallelization API is native to all three compilers.

==Code coverage==
{{Main article|Tcov}}
[[Tcov]], a source [[code coverage]] analysis and statement-by-statement profiling tool, comes as a standard utility. Tcov generates exact counts of the number of times each statement in a program is executed and annotates [[source code]] to add instrumentation.

The tcov utility gives information on how often a [[computer program|program]] executes segments of code. It produces a copy of the source file, annotated with execution frequencies. The code can be annotated at the [[basic block]] level or the source line level. As the statements in a basic block are executed the same number of times, a count of basic block executions equals the number of times each statement in the block is executed. The tcov utility does not produce any time-based data.

==GCCFSS==
The GCC for SPARC Systems (GCCFSS) compiler uses [[GNU Compiler Collection]]'s (GCC) front end with the Oracle Developer Studio compiler's code-generating back end. Thus, GCCFSS is able to handle GCC-specific compiler directives, while it is also able to take advantage of the compiler optimizations in the compiler's back end. This greatly facilitates the porting of GCC-based applications to SPARC systems.

GCCFSS 4.2 adds the ability to be used as a [[cross compiler]]; SPARC binaries can be generated on an x86 (or x64) machine running Solaris.<ref>{{cite web

==Research platform==
Before its cancellation, the [[Rock (processor)|Rock]] would have been the first general-purpose processor to support ''hardware [[transactional memory]]'' (HTM). The Oracle Developer Studio compiler is used by a number of research projects, including ''Hybrid Transactional Memory'' (HyTM)<ref>{{cite web
