Compilers that support C11

Question

I was wondering if there are any compilers that support a considerable amount of the new C11 standard. Looking for features like Generic Selection etc.

Any suggestions?

not a direct answer because not a compiler but P99, http://p99.gforge.inria.fr/p99-html/group__C11.html, is able to emulate most features of C11 quite well, best working on the intersection of gcc family of compilers (in a broad sense) and POSIX systems. — Jens Gustedt, Mar 21 '12 at 12:43

@IntermediateHacker Yes, see _Generic selection_ entry in the help file. – Peter Kankowski Apr 18 '12 at 13:41

Your best bet is probably Clang. See the release notes for the current release and the upcoming one.

Intel 18 supports nearly all of C11 and supported generic selection starting in version 16.

Cray 8.5 documents support for C11 here but I haven't tested it thoroughly. I recall that atomics have been supported for a while, because they are necessary for this project to work on Cray machines.

Full disclosure: I work for Intel, but not in the compiler team.
