Legato and C++ 11 support?

Legato Application Framework
1

Hi, does the standard legato project support C++ 11? If not how do I go about adding it? Do the build tools support all of the C++ 11 features?

Thanks,
Karl

All C++11 features are working for me (legato 16.07).
You can enable it by editing .cdef file in your app project, just add these lines:

cxxflags: {
	-std=c++11
}

I am using C++14 and it works too.

Thanks, I had found that in the manual… but it is not clear whether all C++11 features are supported? However, I think my problem relates to something else… I will dig around a bit more. Thanks for replying!

Hi, that allows me to build a certain amount of C++, but not 11 features. When I check the __cplusplus define its value is stil 199711L. So all new C++ features are disabled. How do I get DS to update this value so that I can develop using those values?

Go to your project properties.
C/C++ General → Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros, etc.
In “entries” tab choose “GNU C++” and choose “CDT User Settings Entries”, Push “Add…” button, choose “Preprocessor macro”
enter name: __cplusplus
enter value: 201403L
check “treat as built-in” box → OK
Then rebuild your project index, everything should work fine now.

Hi all,
Am going to working on Legato freshly, need your preference whether to select “C” or “C++” language for coding. I know its a basic question , but still i need to know which one is best .Baz as i found many sample are in C language.

yes, using C language should be the best as there is quite a lot of sample code for your reference.
