Add Oracle Compiler

Another free (as in beer) available compiler is the Oracle C/C++ compiler (aka Oracle Developer Studio, previously Solaris Studio) is derived from the Sun compiler line, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Developer_Studio .

Adding it to the GCC explorer would be convenient for comparison purposes.

Nowadays, the compiler is also available for Linux:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/developerstudio/downloads/index.html

The license seems to be free-as-in-beer-ish:

Download Options for Oracle Developer Studio
Current Release - Oracle Developer Studio 12.5
Provides perpetual no-cost license for production use and the development of
commercial applications.

The IMHO most convenient install method is to use the provided tar files:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solarisstudio/downloads/solaris-studio-2333112.html

The x86 tar file is 445 MB big. An Oracle account is needed for the download. The account is relatively easy to create - Mailinator throw away email addresses do work.

The install steps basically are:

$ sha256sum OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-linux-x86-bin.tar.bz2
0989078e1025cca88ac30324896c820eb9ea0fa6cc9554867a6c068585d47554
*OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-linux-x86-bin.tar.bz2
$ tar xf /mnt/ex/OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-linux-x86-bin.tar.bz2
$ # the install prefix doesn't matter much because libraries are reference
$ # relative to the $ORIGIN
$ mv OracleDeveloperStudio12.5-linux-x86-bin/developerstudio12.5/ /opt
$ # delete some GUIs
$ rm -rf /opt/developerstudio12.5/lib/netbeans/
$ # delete the Oracle DB 'instant' client - saves some hundreds MiB
$ rm -rf /opt/developerstudio12.5/OIC/
$ du -sh /opt/developerstudio12.5/
774M    /opt/developerstudio12.5/

First test:

$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("Hello %s!\n", argv[1]);
  return 0;
}
$ /opt/developerstudio12.5/bin/cc hello.c
$ ./a.out foo
Hello foo!

The Oracle Studio C++ compiler (CC) uses a bundled GNU STL version - a small C++ test programs also compiles and works as expected.

$ /opt/developerstudio12.5/bin/CC hello.cc
$ ldd a.out
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffdbe7d5000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /opt/developerstudio12.5/lib/compilers/CC-gcc/lib/amd64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fd600f4b000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /opt/developerstudio12.5/lib/compilers/CC-gcc/lib/amd64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fd600d33000)
    libCrunG3.so.1 => /opt/developerstudio12.5/lib/compilers/rtlibs/usr/lib/amd64/libCrunG3.so.1 (0x00007fd600b2c000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fd60080f000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd60044d000)
    libstatomic.so.1 => /opt/developerstudio12.5/lib/compilers/atomic/amd64/libstatomic.so.1 (0x00007fd600246000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000556915425000)

I’ve really not had much time. I’d welcome someone else taking a look at this. We have some docs in the docs/ directory that might help someone else finish the work here.

I’m going to close this: without a real champion for Oracle, plus the potential license issues, and the general feeling I have about Oracle…

Would happily take a patch to support it, but will not track it here any more.

Dear Matt

Completely agree. As of today, I think it is of no interest to add this compiler.

Kind regards
