     16 <h1>C++ Support</h1>
     17 
     18 <p>The Clang frontend
     19 now <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html">supports the
     20 majority of C++</a>.  Support in the frontend for C++ language
     21 features, however, does not automatically translate into support for
     22 those features in the static analyzer.  Language features need to be
     23 specifically modeled in the static analyzer so their semantics can be
     24 properly analyzed.  Support for analyzing C++ and Objective-C++ files
     25 is currently extremely limited, and we are only encouraging those who
     26 are interested in contributing to the development of the analyzer to
     27 try this functionality out at this time.</p>
     28 
     29 <p>Listed here are a set of open tasks that are prerequisites for
     30 decent analysis of C++.  This list is also not complete; new tasks
     31 will be added as deemed necessary.</p>
