If you're using a Nevada aka Solaris 11 aka SXCE build, then the linker should already be newer than anything you can get from a patch. (At least that's my understanding.)
Do you have a sample program and the output from the linker? You might also want to follow up with the linker alias at: tools-linking at opensolaris.org (I've cc:ed them here.) The linker patch ID is not listed in the C++ manual. So I'm not sure specifically which bug fix is being discussed in the manual. You say you're using C++, but you gave the output of "cc -V" which is the C compiler. Make sure you're using "CC" (capital letters) to build a C++ app. --chris S h i v wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to port a C++ application to SX B84 using sun studio (cc: > Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 2007/11/15) > > Encountered problems at the linking stage, figured out that the linker > needs patching to handle C++ code properly > (Explanined under "C++ Shared Library Patch" at > http://docs.sun.com/source/820-4155/c++.html) > > These patches seem to be available only to those with a sunsolve > account.
