Hi,
I heard that PGI C++ compiler on Windows (pgcpp) has been deprecated as of PGI 15.1; new releases of PGI C++ on Windows will not be available after the 2015 release year. Can anyone clarify? Does it mean that you don’t support pgcpp and produce new releases after 15.1 ?
Best Regards,
Hi hyuzuguzel,
The pgcpp compiler has been deprecated in 15.1 for all platforms. We will continue to ship pgcpp through out 2015 but will not be adding new development to pgcpp. We expect to stop shipping pgcpp as of the 2016 releases.
On Linux, we’re moving forward with our GNU compatible C++ compiler, pgc++. However, we will stop supporting C++ on Windows as of the 2016 release.
Hi,
I downloaded and using 15.1 as well as 14.10. So what is the difference between 15.1 and 14.10 if you don’t add any new development? Is the only difference bug fixes ? In short, what is the advantage of using 15.1 over 14.10 ?
Best Regards,
Hi hyuzuguzel,
You’re correct that there wont be any major new development specifically targeting C++ on Windows. So things like C++11 and CUDA Unified Memory weren’t added. However, it’s still maintained and updated so does get general improvements that cross specific platforms and/or compiler.
