Re: ILE C++ standards

"You're surprised by this?"

A little yeah, I expected it to be behind...but 9+ years? :o

No, we don't do much C++, none in fact. But I'd really like to have URI
Templating functionality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_Template in RPG
and since there were some existing C++, I thought it'd be worthwhile to see
if we could port one over.

you, like most everyone else in the universe, probably don't do a lot of
C++ work on the 400. Unfortunately, we do. We're on V7R3 here. IBM is
not even on C++11, technically, but on C++0x, and you have to, for
some reason, enable a command option to get that going. Only God in Heaven
knows why they cannot stay current. I suspect that maybe the OS is written
with whatever C++ was in force at the time and so that is what we're stuck
with, but that's only my uneducated guess.

How many lines is this utility? Probably originally written on a Linux
system with g++?

So we're trying to port a small C++ utility to ILE...

One of the compile errors is on the following...
for(auto& ele : inVars)

Apparently this the "for each" loop which was added to C++ in 2011...(aka
C++11)

We're on v7.2, but even the v7.4 manual doesn't show it as valid.

Looks like C++ on the IBM i include part of the C+11 standards, but not

yet

all. And of course C++14 and C++17 are nowhere to be found.

Bit surprised the i is so far behind the times, but I suppose most don't
use ILE C/C++...
