For what it's worth, you're also generating the patch backwards...
Those lines should start with +, not - ;-)

Sure - feel free to submit a patch to README.platforms.


We'd also like to suggest the following tuning options for compilation
on Solaris :  -xO4 -xchip=generic


It'd probably be good to include that in the patch as well.  -- justin

Actually, if I read the license, I'm not sure this is a great idea to
recommend now:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/sun_studio_tools/sssent/

Specifically, it says:

---
Permitted Use: Provided that You are a participant of the OpenSolaris
community, You may use the software for Research and Instructional,
Individual, and Commercial Use to design, develop, test, or otherwise
engineer software.
---

In the loosest terms, that *might* be true.  But, I'm not quite so sure.

Hmm, I think that page needs updating. AFAIK sun studio has been free
since version 11. In particular:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/downloads/index.jsp
yeah, it does mention FREE for SDN members - but that's just another
way of asking people to register before downloading.
(helios has been running studio 11 since november).

the difference.

Studio 11's license is better.  It says:

--
Permitted Use:  You may reproduce and use the Software for
Individual, Commercial, and Research and Instructional Use.
--

I'm assuming that we should just point them at Studio 11 instead of 10
anyway...So...

Committed in r414921.  Thanks!  -- justin
