1.5 Standards Conformance

The C++ compiler (CC) supports the ISO International Standard for C++, ISO IS 14882:2011, Programming Language—C++. The 2011 standard replaced the 2003 standard, but the compiler recognizes the new features added in C++11 only when the option –std=c++11 is in effect.

The C++ compiler (CC) supports the ISO International Standard for C++, ISO IS 14882:2014, Programming Language—C++. The 2014 standard replaced the 2011 standard, which in turn replaced the 2003 standard. The compiler recognizes the new features added in C++11 only when the option –std=c++11 is in effect, and recognizes the new features added in C++14 only when the option –std=c++14 is in effect.

On SPARC platforms, the compiler provides support for the optimization-exploiting features of SPARC V8 and SPARC V9, including the UltraSPARC implementation. These features are defined in the SPARC Architecture Manuals, Version 8 (ISBN 0-13-825001-4), and Version 9 (ISBN 0-13-099227-5), published by Prentice-Hall for SPARC International.

In this document, “Standard” means conforming to the versions of the standards listed above. “Nonstandard ” or “Extension” refers to features that go beyond these versions of these standards.

The responsible standards bodies may revise these standards from time to time. The versions of the applicable standards to which the C++ compiler conforms may be revised or replaced, resulting in features in future releases of the Oracle Developer Studio C++ compiler that create incompatibilities with earlier releases.
