[mjt110]

Hi, in these days I want use the new feature of C++11 in nrf52 project, so I rename the "main.c" file to "main.cpp"(ble_app_blinky project), select the C++11 compiler in project options dialog,

then start building, it failed and the infomation is: 

Look forward to your reply。

Yes, it is well known that the standard Nordic code will not build as C++

There has been a number of threads on it ...

Hi awneil,

It is not so easy as one may think to support C99 and various of C++ standards for all compilers: Keil, GCC, SES, IAR.

Currently I am porting one library to be C++ compatible and I am facing C++ standard issues. What compiles in older C++ standards won't compile beginning from C++ 11 but it will compile in C++ 20. And the build result is diffrent depending on used compiler (in terms of building/not building).
So far Nordic is officially supporting C but we have recently started making C++ friendly code as much as possible. However migrating all available libraries to C++ is rather not feasable.

Yes, I appreciate that!

Not sure that mjt110 does, though?

Indeed - there is no claim that it's C++
