C++ Standards Support in GCC - GCC 对 C++ 标准的支持

C++ Standards Support in GCC - 2019-2-20

GCC supports different dialects of C++, corresponding to the multiple published ISO standards. Which standard it implements can be selected using the -std= command-line option.

• C++98
• C++11
• C++14
• C++17
• C++2a
• Technical Specifications

For information about the status of the library implementation, please see this page.

C++2a Support in GCC

GCC has experimental support for the next revision of the C++ standard, which is expected to be published in 2020.

C++2a features are available as part of "mainline" GCC in the trunk of GCC's repository and will be available in GCC 8 and later. To enable C++2a support, add the command-line parameter -std=c++2a to your g++ command line. Or, to enable GNU extensions in addition to C++2a features, add -std=gnu++2a.

Important: Because the ISO C++2a standard is still evolving, GCC's support is experimental. No attempt will be made to maintain backward compatibility with implementations of C++2a features that do not reflect the final standard.

C++2a Language Features

The following table lists new language features that have been accepted into the C++2a working draft. The "Proposal" column provides a link to the ISO C++ committee proposal that describes the feature, while the "Available in GCC?" column indicates the first version of GCC that contains an implementation of this feature (if it has been implemented).

C++17 Support in GCC

GCC has experimental support for the latest revision of the C++ standard, which was published in 2017.

C++17 features are available as part of "mainline" GCC in the trunk of GCC's repository and in GCC 5 and later. To enable C++17 support, add the command-line parameter -std=c++17 to your g++ command line. Or, to enable GNU extensions in addition to C++17 features, add -std=gnu++17.

Important: Because the final ISO C++17 standard is still new, GCC's support is experimental. No attempt will be made to maintain backward compatibility with implementations of C++17 features that do not reflect the final standard.

C++17 Language Features

The following table lists new language features that have been accepted into the C++17 working draft. The "Proposal" column provides a link to the ISO C++ committee proposal that describes the feature, while the "Available in GCC?" column indicates the first version of GCC that contains an implementation of this feature (if it has been implemented).

Technical Specifications

GCC also implements experimental support for some language Technical Specifications published by the C++ committee.

Important: Because these Technical Specifications are still evolving toward future inclusion in a C++ standard, GCC's support is experimental. No attempt will be made to maintain backward compatibility with implementations of features that do not reflect the final standard.

Technical Specification	Document	Available in GCC?	Compiler Option	SD-6 Feature Test

C++14 Support in GCC

GCC has full support for the previous revision of the C++ standard, which was published in 2014.

This mode is the default in GCC 6.1 and above; it can be explicitly selected with the -std=c++14 command-line flag, or -std=gnu++14 to enable GNU extensions as well.

C++14 Language Features

The following table lists new language features that are part of the C++14 standard. The "Proposal" column provides a link to the ISO C++ committee proposal that describes the feature, while the "Available in GCC?" column indicates the first version of GCC that contains an implementation of this feature.

This feature was briefly part of the C++14 working paper, but was not part of the published standard; as a result, it has been removed from the compiler.

Runtime-sized arrays with automatic storage duration  (Removed from the standard)	N3639	?.? (GNU VLAs)  4.9 (N3639)  5 (GNU VLAs)	__cpp_runtime_arrays >= 198712

C++11 Support in GCC

GCC 4.8.1 was the first feature-complete implementation of the 2011 C++ standard, previously known as C++0x.

This mode can be selected with the -std=c++11 command-line flag, or -std=gnu++11 to enable GNU extensions as well.

C++98 Support in GCC

GCC has full support for the 1998 C++ standard as modified by the 2003 technical corrigendum and some later defect reports, excluding the export feature which was later removed from the language.

This mode is the default in GCC versions prior to 6.1; it can be explicitly selected with the -std=c++98 command-line flag, or -std=gnu++98 to enable GNU extensions as well.

For questions related to the use of GCC, please consult these web pages and the GCC manuals. If that fails, the gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org mailing list might help. Comments on these web pages and the development of GCC are welcome on our developer list at gcc@gcc.gnu.org. All of our lists have public archives.
