Sun Studio 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 a integrated

development environment (IDE).

The Sun Studio 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 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
