<h1>C++ Support in Clang</h1>
<!--*************************************************************************-->
<p>Last updated: $Date$</p>
<p>Clang fully implements all published ISO C++ standards including <a
href="#cxx11">C++11</a>, as well as the upcoming <a
href="#cxx14">C++14</a> standard, and some parts of the fledgling <a
href="#cxx17">C++1z</a> standard,
and is considered a production-quality C++ compiler.
<p>The Clang community is continually striving to improve C++ standards
compliance between releases by submitting and tracking <a
href="cxx_dr_status.html">C++ Defect Reports</a> and implementing resolutions
as they become available.</p>
<p>Experimental work is also under way to implement <a href="#ts">C++ Technical
Specifications</a> that will help drive the future of the C++ programming
language.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">LLVM bug tracker</a> contains Clang
C++ components that track known bugs with Clang's language conformance in
each language mode.</p>
<h2 id="cxx98">C++98 implementation status</h2>
<p>Clang implements all of the ISO C++ 1998 standard
(including the defects addressed in the ISO C++ 2003 standard)
except for <tt>export</tt> (which was removed in C++11).
<h2 id="cxx11">C++11 implementation status</h2>
<p>Clang 3.3 and later implement all of the <a
href="http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=50372">ISO
C++ 2011 standard</a>. The following table describes the Clang version
in which each feature became available.</p>
<p>By default, Clang builds C++ code according to the C++98 standard, with many
C++11 features accepted as extensions. You can use Clang in C++11 mode with the
<code>-std=c++11</code> option. Clang's C++11 mode can be used
with <a href="http://libcxx.llvm.org/">libc++</a> or with gcc's libstdc++, but
patches are needed to make <a href="libstdc++4.4-clang0x.patch">libstdc++-4.4</a>
work with Clang in C++11 mode. Patches are also needed to make
<a href="libstdc++4.6-clang11.patch">libstdc++-4.6</a>
and <a href="libstdc++4.7-clang11.patch">libstdc++-4.7</a> work with Clang
releases prior to version 3.2 in C++11 mode.

<span id="n3778">(7): In Clang 3.7 and later, sized deallocation is only enabled
if the user passes the <code>-fsized-deallocation</code> flag. The user must
supply definitions of the sized deallocation functions, either by providing them
explicitly or by using a C++ standard library that does. <code>libstdc++</code>
added these functions in version 5.0, and <code>libc++</code> added them in
version 3.7.

<h2 id="cxx17">C++1z implementation status</h2>
<p>Clang has <b>experimental</b> support for some proposed features of
the C++ standard following C++14, provisionally named C++1z.
The following table describes which C++1z features
have been implemented in Clang and in which Clang version they became
available.</p>
<p>Note that support for these features may change or be removed without notice,
as the draft C++1z standard evolves.</p>
<p>You can use Clang in C++1z mode with the <code>-std=c++1z</code> option.</p>
