C11 in GCC?

Question

I’m trying to compile some C11 code using thread.h, but I can’t. I\'ve recompiled GCC (running 4.6.2 now), and I’m trying to compile with gcc -std=c1x fil

Further information about this can be found here.

... (Atomics - stdatomic.h - are optional, and will probably need to wait for associated language features to be implemented in GCC 4.8. I'd guess that the optional threading interfaces in threads.h and bounds-checking interfaces in Annex K aren't wanted for glibc for now, although they could potentially go in separate libraries.

My guess is that we won't see this implemented for quite some time, at least not in standard glibc and gcc (sourced post provides some insight). My personal guess is something like one year, it will take probably something like 2 years until it will be stable enough for production use. Thats 2k14 (assert(survival_2012)) :P
