C++11 is a version of a joint technical standard, ISO/IEC 14882, by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), for the C++ programming language. C++11 replaced the prior version of the C++ standard, named C++03,[1] and was later replaced by C++14. The name follows the tradition of naming language versions by the publication year of the specification, though it was formerly named C++0x because it was expected to be published before 2010.[2]

Although one of the design goals was to prefer changes to the libraries over changes to the core language,[3] C++11 does make several additions to the core language. Areas of the core language that were significantly improved include multithreading support, generic programming support, uniform initialization, and performance. Significant changes were also made to the C++ Standard Library, incorporating most of the C++ Technical Report 1 (TR1) libraries, except the library of mathematical special functions.[4]

C++11 was published as ISO/IEC 14882:2011[5] in September 2011 and is available for a fee. The working draft most similar to the published C++11 standard is N3337, dated 16 January 2012;[6] it has only editorial corrections from the C++11 standard.[7]

C++11 was fully supported by Clang 3.3 and later,[8] and by GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.8.1 and later.[9]

The January 2012 working draft contains the C++11 standard plus minor editorial changes.
