\section2 Sun Studio
- Qt is tested using Sun Studio 8 (Sun CC 5.5). Go to
+ Qt is tested using Sun Studio 12 (Sun CC 5.9). Go to
\l{Sun Studio Patches} page on Sun's Web site to download
the latest patches for your Sun compiler.
+ Please note that Qt 4.6 is stricter in its STL requirements and
+ that the default STL implementation used by Sun CC does not pass
+ those requirements. This does not affect binary compatibility and
+ you can continue to use STL in your own code, but Qt's
+ STL-compatibility functions will be disabled.
+
+ Sun CC ships with a secondary STL implementation (called stlport4)
+ which is standards-compliant and can be used by Qt. You can enable
+ it by passing the -library=stlport4 option to the compiler. Note
+ that this does not affect Qt's binary compatibility, but it may
+ affect that of other libraries and programs that use STL.
