GCC provides experimental support for the upcoming ISO C++
standard, C++0x. This support can be enabled with the
-std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x compiler
options; the former disables GNU extensions.
GCC's C++0x mode tracks the C++0x working paper drafts produced by the ISO C++ committee, available on the ISO C++ committee's web site at https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/. Since this standard is still being extended and modified, the feature set provided by the experimental C++0x mode may vary greatly from one GCC version to another. No attempts will be made to preserve backward compatibility with C++0x features whose semantics have changed during the course of C++0x standardization.
The following table lists which C++0x features are supported in this release of GCC. For more information about C++0x support in GCC, please see the C++0x in GCC project page.
