We keep trying to find ways to make the product documentation for Solaris and the Sun Studio tools easier to find and browse.
One way we've found is by creating "Information Centers" containing links to all the relevant documentation.
The Information Center for the Solaris OS can be found at
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hubs/documentation/
We have also just created an information center for all the documentation around the Sun Studio compilers and tools. It's on docs.sun.com at
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-3845/stdinfoctr.html
The Sun Studio Information Center also contains a link to pages for all the compiler options, organized by compiler and task. Because not all similar options are spelled exactly alike in C, C++, and Fortran, this list of comparisons can be very handy.
You can find the compiler options page at:
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-3529/index.html
Let us know if you find these pages useful.
One thing that doesnt seem to be on the Sun Studio info center is a patch list. It would be nice to have a one-stop place to find the complete set of latest and greatest.

Work is being done to provide this. We have been trying to maintain such a list manually (see http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/index.jsp)
but it turns out to be very hard to keep accurate and up to date. So we should have a dynamic list created automatically soon.

Actually, it turns out it's already there:

I'll see about adding this to the Info Center!
