For more information on C/C++ standards, visit ISO Standards and search for the specific standard you are interested in, such as ISO/IEC 14882:2020.

C++17 and C17 are the default language standards for the compiler. You can use the -std command-line option to select other versions.

SYCL Standards

The Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Compiler supports the SYCL 2020 Specification and is SYCL 2020 conformant. The SYCL standard is based on the C++ standard and the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler headers include some of the C++ standard headers. All of the current restrictions and limitations that apply to C/C++ standards, which relate to library headers, also apply to SYCL headers.

Tested Standard C++ APIs within SYCL Kernels

In addition to being supported for use in host code, a set of standard C++17 APIs have been tested for use in SYCL kernels. For a full list of the APIs that have been tested see Tested Standard C++ APIs.

OpenMP Standards

The Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler supports most of the OpenMP Application Programming Interface versions 5.0 and 5.1.

Refer to OpenMP Features for the current status of compiler support for OpenMP 5.0 and 5.1 features.

IEEE 754-2008 Standard for Floating-Point Formats

The Intel® IEEE 754-2008 Binary Floating-point Conformance Library conforms to the IEEE 754-2008 standard for binary32 and binary64 binary floating-point interchange formats.
