Hi Tim, Jeff,

Kim has assembled a quite detailed list of new C++ features intended for use in HotSpot/OpenJDK (with links to the corresponding C++ standard)

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8208089

Could you please provide a summary of which of these features are already available since which version of xlC for AIX and potentially escalate the implementation of the missing features within IBM’s xlC on AIX team.

Thank you and best regards, Volker

I've submitted a JEP for

(1) enabling the use of C++14 Language Features when building the JDK, (2) define a process for deciding and documenting which new features can be used or are forbidden in HotSpot code, (3) provide an initial list of permitted and forbidden new features. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8208089
