I teach a compiler course in which the student's projects generate
SPARC code. To generate correct SPARC code the students need a
description of the SPARC architecture. We have been using the SUN
manual 800-1399-08 "The SPARC Architecture Manual".
The peculiar thing is that this manual is out of print. Every
year I get permission from SUN to photocopy my dog-eared copy
for the students.
Does anyone know what is going on with this manual?
Is there some replacement that I and my SUN sales rep. are unaware of?
Isn't the SPARC supposed to be an open architecture with a standard
description somewhere?

Sun's is out of print.] I duuno about the Sun manual, but it seems to me that you should be able to get the equivalent thing from one of the houses that fabs SPARC chips, such as Cypress or Fujitsu. I would also suspect that Solbourne has such a manual. -- ken seefried iii ken@dali.cc.gatech.edu -- Send compilers articles to compilers@iecc.cambridge.ma.us or {ima | spdcc | world}!iecc!compilers.
