Claims to, it is very similar to the C++11 atomics which are there. 4.9 is a significant compiler because it is the first g++ release that really supports C++11 and all the polishing in C++14 very well. I think we will see it or a slightly newer one made widely available because of that. I already am working on C++ code bases that are incompatible with 4.8 because of that, and it is unquestionably worth it for C++. > I don't know that the group will go for anything past C99, but we should try > to > enumerate the list of C11 features we would use if it were permitted. Realistically public header files probably have to remain at a C89/C99 compatible level, which puts a crimp on a lot of new features :( Jason _______________________________________________ ofiwg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/mailman/listinfo/ofiwg
