    I think C++ is a OpenCL 2.0 feature, so aoc only support 1.2 ...

    Thanks - and to close the loop here is what I was told by Altera: "Unfortunately, our SDK doesn’t support this at the moment. The SDK is fully compliant with OpenCL spec 1.1 and partially compatible with 1.2 and 2.0."

    They also had a positive message about future support for the c++ kernel language as defined in OpenCL spec 2.1 - no release date provided.

    Thanks,
