C++ version supported by ARM DS-5 Altera Edition

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

I can't manage finding this information clearly. Does the ARM DS-5 Altera Edition supports C++11 ? C++14 ? On which compiler relies the edition ?  The context is developping C++ baremetal application for Altera Cyclone V SoC with the Altera tools (no linux development)  Is there any place where I can find information on developping with C++11 (or better C+14) in this context with Cyclone V and altera tool chain ?  Thanks in advance,

Hello, 

Thanks for your response.  I realize that my question in not complete. Unfortunately the link you propose is about Nios but I am looking information about ARM DS-5 AE for Cortex A9 embedded in the HPS part.  I can't find clearly what compiler uses the tool and so what C++ version it supports and with which conformance.  Best Regards, Alb

DS-5 isn't an "Altera tool chain", it's an ARM tool chain.

Hi ted, 

Thanks for your answer.  It seems not so clear for me since it is presented as an DS-5 altera edition part of the Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite. And I can't find cleary which version of Altera Edition uses which version of Professional DS-5.   I used to have tools packaged with other ones but they are not ever with the last version of the part in the set.  Well, I will suppose that I will get the last DS-5 version and hope it implements C++11  Thanks for your helps.

Thanks Ted. 

All is there now thanks to your links.  I finally fall from my chair and knocked my head on a wall which cleared my mind and helped me to better read your links (rtfm...) :  I looked at the 5.23 release note and found the exact compiler version associated with the EDS and a link to arm compiler release notes (http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.arn0005x/index.html). I can connect all it together. Sorry for the disturb,  And again thanks for your helps

In case anyone else needs a clear answer, the following link describes the standards supported by the ARM compiler used by the latest version: https://developer.arm.com/docs/dui0529/latest/overview-of-arm-compiler/about-arm-compiler/standards-compliance-in-arm-compiler 

 Namely, yes, it supports a "subset" of ISO C++11 input. It doesn't specify which subset however, which is a bit disappointing.  Edit: Found the list of supported C++11 features: https://developer.arm.com/docs/dui0472/latest/c-and-c-implementation-details/c11-supported-features
