# C++ 2011

ISO C++
2011

This table is based on the table of contents of ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG21 Doc No: N3290 Date: 2011-04-11 Final Draft International Standard, Standard for Programming Language C++

In this implementation `-std=gnu++11` or `-std=c++11` flags must be used to enable language and library features. See dialect options. The pre-defined symbol `__cplusplus` is used to check for the presence of the required flag.

This page describes the C++11 support in mainline GCC SVN, not in any particular release.

## Implementation Specific Behavior

For behaviour which is also specified by the 1998 and 2003 standards, see C++ 1998/2003 Implementation Specific Behavior. This section only documents behaviour which is new in the 2011 standard.

20.8.9.1.3 [func.bind.place]/1 There are 29 placeholders defined and the placeholder types are `CopyAssignable`.

23.5.4.2 [unord.map.cnstr], 23.5.5.2 [unord.multimap.cnstr], 23.5.6.2 [unord.set.cnstr], 23.5.7.2 [unord.multiset.cnstr] The default bucket count is 10 for the default constructors and 0 for the range constructors and initializer-list constructors.

30.2.3 [thread.req.native]/1 `native_handle_type` and `native_handle` are provided. The handle types are defined in terms of the Gthreads abstraction layer.

- `thread`: The native handle type is a typedef for `__gthread_t` i.e. `pthread_t` when GCC is configured with the `posix` thread model. The value of the native handle is undefined for a thread which is not joinable.

- `mutex` and `timed_mutex`: The native handle type is `__gthread_mutex_t*` i.e. `pthread_mutex_t*` for the `posix` thread model.

- `recursive_mutex` and `recursive_timed_mutex`: The native handle type is `__gthread_recursive_mutex_t*` i.e. `pthread_mutex_t*` for the `posix` thread model.

- `condition_variable`: The native handle type is `__gthread_cond_t*` i.e. `pthread_cond_t*` for the `posix` thread model.

30.6.1 [futures.overview]/2 `launch` is a scoped enumeration type with overloaded operators to support bitmask operations. There are no additional bitmask elements defined.
