The release notes for the recent releases of the compiler mention that they support c++11 lambdas. I have managed to get local lambdas and function pointers to lambdas to work, but the std::function template for passing lambdas with captures seems to be missing, and using the system version causes a pretty huge number of errors.

Is there a compatible standard library that includes std::function or is that something we'll have to wait for a new release for? (testing with 13.3)

Use" pgcpp --gnu --c++11 "
--c++11 enables the current c++11 support in the compiler
--gnu produces gnu compatible objects and uses the gnu STL which might just have
the lambda template definitions you are looking for.

Note that pgcpp --gnu objects are not link compatible with non-gnu, plain "pgcpp " compiled objects, and all c++ code will need to be recompiled if you go this route.

If this does not do the trick, then please submit a small test example . Full C++ support
is slated by 2014.

Having tried that, unfortunately it did not work. I know the gnu libc on this machine supports it since g++ can compile the code successfully but the header that offers the std::function template is protected behind a check for the __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ define. Defining that produces a great deal more errors unfortunately.

There seems to be an implementation in the /opt/pgi... headers too, but it just doesn't seem to work. Either way, here's a minimal toy sample that just returns "namespace "std" has no member "function"" on pgcpp with c++11 but works on g++ version 4.6.3 with -std=c++0x.

Clearly I made a mistake submitting early, the example is below.

Thank you for the small test case. You can track this issue as TPR19283 in our bug system.

The test case also shows that when compiled

pgc++ --c++11 -D__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__

constexpr has not yet been implemented.
