<h1>C++ Support in Clang</h1>
<!--*************************************************************************-->
<p>Last updated: $Date$</p>
<p>Clang fully implements all published ISO C++ standards (<a
href="#cxx98">C++98 / C++03</a>, <a
href="#cxx11">C++11</a>, and <a
href="#cxx14">C++14</a>), and most of the upcoming <a
href="#cxx17">C++17</a> standard.
<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/standard/50372.html">ISO
C++ 2011 standard</a>.
<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++.

<span id="n3922">(8): This is a backwards-incompatible change that is applied to
all language versions that allow type deduction from <tt>auto</tt>

In Clang 3.7, a warning is emitted for all cases that would change meaning.

<span id="p0145">(9): Under the MS ABI, function parameters are destroyed from
left to right in the callee. As a result, function parameters in calls to
<tt>operator&lt;&lt;</tt>, <tt>operator&gt;&gt;</tt>, <tt>operator-&gt;*</tt>,
<tt>operator&amp;&amp;</tt>, <tt>operator||</tt>, and <tt>operator,</tt>
functions using expression syntax are no longer guaranteed to be destroyed in
reverse construction order in that ABI.
</span><br>
<span id="p0522">(10): Despite being the resolution to a Defect Report, this
feature is disabled by default in all language versions, and can be enabled
explicitly with the flag <tt>-frelaxed-template-template-args</tt> in Clang 4
onwards.
The change to the standard lacks a corresponding change for template partial
ordering, resulting in ambiguity errors for reasonable and previously-valid
code. This issue is expected to be rectified soon.

<p>Clang generally aims to implement resolutions to Defect Reports (bug fixes
against prior standards) retroactively, in all prior standard versions where
the fix is meaningful. Significant Defect Report changes to language features
after the publication of the relevant standard are marked (DR) in the above
table.</p>
<p>Clang also has a test suite for conformance to resolutions for issues on the
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_toc.html">C++ core issues list</a>,
most of which are considered Defect Reports.
<a href="cxx_dr_status.html">Implementation status for C++ core issues</a> based on
that test suite is tracked on a separate page.</p>
<h2 id="ts">Technical specifications and standing documents</h2>
<p>ISO C++ also publishes a number of documents describing additional language
and library features that are not part of standard C++.</p>
