<h1>C++ and C++'11 Support in Clang</h1>
<!--*************************************************************************-->
<p>Last updated: $Date$</p>
<p>Clang currently implements all of the ISO C++ 1998 standard
(including the defects addressed in the ISO C++ 2003 standard)
except for 'export' (which has been removed in C++'11)
and is considered a production-quality C++ compiler. The <a
href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">LLVM bug tracker</a> contains a Clang
C++ component that tracks known Clang C++ bugs.</p>
<h2 id="cxx11">C++11 Implementation status</h2>
<p>Clang provides support for a number of features included in the new <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=50372">ISO C++ Standard, ISO/IEC 14882:2011</a>. The following table describes which C++11 features have been implemented in Clang and in which Clang versions they became available.</p>
<p>You can use Clang in C++11 mode either
with <a href="http://libcxx.llvm.org/">libc++</a> or with gcc's libstdc++.
libstdc++-4.4 requires <a href="libstdc++4.4-clang0x.patch">a patch</a> to work
with clang; other versions have not been tested.</p>
