RFA C++ with Solaris Studio: is there a C++11 ABI release ?

To use C++11 features with Solaris studio, one have to use a new ABI (the g++ one by the way) which is not compatible with the legacy one.

Consequence: all C++ 3rd parties of a product must already be available compiled with the new ABI before one can start using C++11 in one's own product.

Is RFA available with this ABI? I can see no related info in the compatibility matrix.

Thanks

    Compatibility matrix 2.0 lists Sun Studio 12 for RFA 8.X and 7.4+.

    Only in Solaris Studio 12.4 (formerly Sun Studio) C++11 support became available.

    Therefore, RFA is not available with C++11.

    As the new features become available with the new API versions, the API compatibility matrix is updated. It reflects the major features, while README reflects the specifics.

  • Thanks for your answer.

    How should we understand "sun Studio 12": As "12.0, or 12.x ? Even 12.3 is already out of support for what I know.

    Does your answer mean that we'll have to wait for RFA 9.X to have a chance to get a C++11 compatible release?

    Thanks
