The Sun C, C++, and Fortran compilers include advanced features for developing applications
on Sun Solaris SPARC and X86 platforms. These compilers utilize a common optimizing backend code
generator, and accept standard C, C++, and Fortran with extensions.

C User's Guide
Details the Sun C compiler's command-line options, pragma directives, supported ISO/IEC 9899:1999 features,
the lint code-checking program, parallelization, and the incremental linker, ild.
There are also several appendices with reference material such as ISO C data representations,
implementation defined behavior, the differences between Sun C (K & R) and Sun ISO C, performance tuning,
and converting applications to compile for the 64-bit environment.

C++ Migration Guide
Explains what you need to know to move from 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.1, or 4.2 versions of the C++ compiler.
If you are moving from still earlier 3.0 or 3.0.1 versions of the C++ compiler, the information still applies.
A few additional topics specific to these older compiler versions are addressed.

Symbol Table Entries (stabs) Interface Reference
(PDF)
This document describes how the symbol table entries (stabs) generated by the
compilers to support debugging are created, stored, modified, and interpreted.
The discussion includes: how a compiler describes the program in stabs; how the stabs relate to the linker
symbol table entries stored in the object file or
executable file; what happens to stabs when the linker processes an object file; and how dbx interprets the stabs.
