• Sun Studio Compiler Options, revisited

One of our tech writers, Kami Shahi, collaborated with Sun Studio tools engineer Chris Quenelle to develop a database of compiler options that can be viewed in many ways.

Sun Studio compilers, like most, contain a zillion options. Many deal with special cases that have come up in the past that are not of general interest. But some are extremely powerful and should be used to ensure generating a binary program that performs well.

You can find the page on the SDN Sun Studio portal as part of the Sun Studio 11 documentation:

http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss11/opts/index.html 

But here's a copy of that page:

Thank you Richard for posting the location of Kami's list of compiler options. The list is buried so deep in the developers.sun.com site that I couldn't find the link. To be honest, I was trying to show a customer the page during a demo at JavaOne, but I couldn't find the page. Really frustrating.
