<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
Douglas Gregor
committed
(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

<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>
Richard Smith
committed
<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
Richard Smith
committed
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>
Richard Smith

<p>You can use Clang in C++1z mode with the <code>-std=c++1z</code> option.</p>

because the calling convention requires that function parameters are destroyed
from left to right in the callee. In order to guarantee that destruction order
is reverse construction order, the operands of overloaded
<tt>operator<<</tt>, <tt>operator>></tt>, <tt>operator->*</tt>,
<tt>operator&&</tt>, <tt>operator||</tt>, and <tt>operator,</tt>
functions are evaluated right-to-left under the MS ABI when called using operator
syntax, not left-to-right as P0145R3 requires.
