RHEL 6 (CentOS 6) ships with g++ 4.4.7, which does not have
a complete C++11 implementation.
RHEL 7 (CentOS 7) ships with g++ 4.8.5, which has reasonable C++11 support,
although there may be a couple of features missing. I think g++ 4.9
was the first with full C++11 support.
On RHEL, it is possible to install newer versions of g++ using
the "devtoolset" software collections from in the RHEL "SCL" repos; see
- http://softwarecollections.org/
- https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-7/
devtoolset-7 has g++ 7.3.1, which supports C++11, C++14 (the default),
and some C++17.
