Ask HN: Most complete C++0x compiler ?

3 points by octopus 15y ago

Hello, what is in your opinion the "best" candidate compiler to learn the new C++0x standard ? Unfortunately there is no compiler that implements the complete standard, but hopefully we will see one in the next year(s). Thanks

This table is a round-up of C++0x support in various compilers: http://wiki.apache.org/stdcxx/C++0xCompilerSupport http://wiki.apache.org/stdcxx/C++0xCompilerSupport

  Judging from this table: GCC 4.x, the later the better. Too bad it'll be a while before we see GCC 4.6!

Has the specification for c++0x been approved by ISO? I know various versions were floated, but I don't seem to recall a rubber-stamped standard ...

  Yes, the standard was approved, have a look at this article: http://herbsutter.com/2011/03/25/we-have-fdis-trip-report-march-2011-c-standards-meeting/ http://herbsutter.com/2011/03/25/we-have-fdis-trip-report-ma...

    from the article: "If all goes well, and we expect it will, the International Standard will be approved and published in 2011, henceforth to be known as C++ 2011." <-- i interpret that as it not having been approved yet
