Compile SDK11 with ARM Compiler Version 6

[Christopher]

I would like to use the latest ARM Compiler Version 6 (armclang) because I need some features of the C++11 language.

Is it possible to use the latest ARM Compiler Version 6 to compile the SDK 11 ? Which flags should we use to be compatible with all macros currently available for GCC and armcc ?

In future SDK releases, will this compiler be officially supported ?

is armclang related to clang, as in the LLVM compiler? If so, it's very likely not going to work at all. clang/llvm fails to generate proper softdevice calls in release mode for reasons I and others have gone into at length on other threads. You can't currently use clang to compile so if armclang is based on LLVM, give up.

@hkn Thanks for your reply. I understand the reasons why this will take some time and effort.

For now GCC is the only alternative which supports some of the latest C++ features I like to work with when I develop embedded BLE applications, let's hope other compilers will support them too ;)
