C++ versions and C++ compilers

[keanedawg]

This is more of a sanity check.

So there are c++ versions (I.E. C++14 or C++11) and there are different compilers.


So two compilers maybe both following the standards of C++11, but that doesn't mean that some code compiled from one C++11 compiler will compile in a different c++11 compiler.

I use two different C++11 compilers, Visual C++ 2015 and GCC 4.9.2. There are at least one feature in C++11 that compile in both, but only work when compiled with VC++. std::random_device

When compiled with GCC 4.9.2 the exact same sequence of random numbers are generated every time.

Interesting. Cool!

That really depends.

Are both compilers completely compliant with the C++11 standard?

Are you only using standard C++ features available with that version of the standard?

Are you using any optional C++ standard features?

Are you using any implementation defined features?

If both compilers are completely compliant with the C++ standard, you're not using any optional C++ standard features or any implementation defined features the code should compile with either compiler.
