For the record, as of Solaris Studio 12.4 there are 4 options:

* C++03 mode, default std lib - a broken Rogue Wave version, this is the default. * C++03 mode, STLport. Requires -library=stlport4 * C++03 mode, Apache std lib. Requires -library=stdcxx4 * C++11 mode, GNU libstdc++, used when -std=c++11 is passed to the compiler.

According to the documentation to which Stephen linked, there should also be

5. C++03 mode, GNU libstdc++, used when -std=c++03 is passed to the compiler.

Ah, I missed that one. And I see the -library, -std and -compat command line options are all mutually incompatible and do slightly different things... just to keep us on our toes I guess!

I'll update the PR for the toolset accordingly.

I have tried to get Solaris Studio 12.4 to compile/link in -std=c++11 mode but have never succeeded. There was a change to the top-level Boost Jamroot which had to be made, and which Steve Watanabe made in the 'develop' super-project, which was removing the lines there which hard-coded the stdlib for sun: # The standard library Sun compilers use by default has no chance # of working with Boost. Override it. <toolset>sun:<stdlib>sun-stlport Even after removing this if I compiled using -std=c++11 the compile went OK but as soon as it tried to link it was obviously not finding the standard library, even though I had libstdc++ installed under Linux. I still received linking errors of:

showing it could not find the standard library shared library as far as I can make out. Has anyone got this working with Sun ( now Oracle ) C++ on Linux ? Does this need anything else from Boost in order to tell the compiler which library to link with ? I have asked on the appropriate Oracle forum but I thought I would mention it here in case anyone has got this working.
