Compiling in C++11 mode under GCC?

Hello,

Is it possible to compile programs in C++11 mode with ARM_GCC under mbed 5.1? If yes, how should I setup the project so that the right option is passed to GCC?

Also, In general, what is the best way to pass specific compiler options to GCC under mbed 5.1?

No C++11 support on mbed OS at the moment. I've been told it's because we need to be able to compile with ARMCC, GCC and IAR.

Update (2018): C++11 can be enabled through a custom build profile. Unfortunately not in the Online Compiler at this point.

Thanks Jan. I am aware that the mbed OS is stuck at C++03 for the moment but my question is how we can compile an application in the c++11 mode. If I manually edit the mbed-os/tools/gcc.py and add the "std=c++11" the build seems to work fine but surely there must be a better way to change or override compiler flags. Btw, the "options" command to mbed-cli is not the answer as it does something very different.

Ah, my bad. I was under the assumption we already merged this feature, and figured was renamed to options... We'll be tracking this feature in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/issues/2001.

Thanks for clarification Jan. Hopefully this issue gets resolved soon.
