Is Pro*C supported in Linux? [message #670500]

Hi experts,

I got a customer question: Is Pro*C supported in Linux?

They are currently using Pro*C on Solaris on SPARC and are planning to move to Linux in x86 but would like to know first if their Pro*C code will work fine in Linux as it does now in Solaris, that is, if the Linux compiler will compile fine the Pro*C generated code.

Thanks,
JD

Why not just go to the download page and see for yourself what is available?

BTW, are you sure about it being for linux x86 (which is 32-bit) and not x86-64 (which is 64-bit)? You can't even buy 32-bit hardware any more (well perhaps some antique on ebay) so why run a 32-bit OS?

Thank you Ed.

Yes sorry I meant x86 architecture (in opposite to SPARC) but you are right it would be x86-64.

Ok so I see it is supported as it is in the download page as you mention.

The next question would be: would all their code written in Pro*C and used with Solaris C compiler on SPARC all these years be compatible with Linux compiler in x86-64 or they would need to rewrite the code somehow?

Being Pro*C a precompiler I guess it should be totally OS agnostic but I am totally a newbie regarding Pro*C so I would like to confirm it.

Thanks,
JD

Just re-precompile/compile/link.
Pro*C is more compatible across platforms than C itself.
