FC++ compiler support

FC++ is written in Standard C++, and therefore should work with any compliant C++ compiler. Fully compliant C++ compilers are getting easier to find, but, we still maintain this page, which documents how the FC++ library works with different compilers.

If you have tried using FC++ with a compiler other than the ones listed here, please mail us with information about your experience (regardless of whether it was successful or not).


Note: all information in the table applies to the current release (v1.5) of the FC++ library. (You can see some old info here.)

Compiler version FC++ status Other notes
g++-2.95.2, g++-2.95.4 It mostly works There are a few bugs in g++-2.95.x that we have work-arounds for. First, bugs in the compiler prevent portions of FC++ from being put into namespace fcpp. As a result, those portions are just dumped into the global namespace. Second, g++ has a non-conforming <iterator> library, which we correct for. Finally, this version of g++ can't handle the new "lambda" extensions, so don't #define FCPP_ENABLE_LAMBDA. The config.h file automatically detects this compiler version and sets up the fixes, so FC++ (sans lambda) works "out of the box" with this compiler anyway.
g++-3.0.4, g++-3.1.1, g++-3.2.2 It all works
g++-3.3 Some works This version of g++ has a bug with template specializations which is sometimes triggered by FC++ code.
Intel C++ 7.0 (icc) It all works
Comeau C++ 4.3.0.1 It all works Works even with "-A --strict"
MSVC++ 7.1 It mostly works We did not have time to do thorough testing with this compiler, but the testing we did suggests it mostly works.
