CodeWarriorFire 6.3 Standard Edition C++ Support

[sn]

I am confused by the C++ support offered by CodeWarrior 6.3 Standard Edition for the ColdFire MCF52233.

CodeWarrior allows a user to create a C++ project, but the standard, pre-baked code does not compile under the UART Debug build preset (it does, however, compile fine under the Console Debug build preset).  Examining the build errors, I removed some extern "C" code bits I found in some .c files, as the C programming language does not recognize extern "C", and it worked fine.

Thinking my problems solved, I then attempted to utilize the STL, and received a great number of build errors for merely including any header.  Even after adding additional MSL C++ libraries, the errors remained.  There seemed to be a problem with namespace's.  I ditched the headers and wrote a very simple namespace.  Sure enough, the compiler did not recognize the namespace keyword.

Some time later I read in the Targeting_ColdFire PDF provided with CodeWarrior that the Standard Edition does not support C++ (Also noted at  http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=CWS-MCF-STDED-CX&parentCode=null&node...).  Yet, I am able to use the class keyword, a feature C does not provide.  Additionally, as mentioned before, the software itslef seems to greatly suggest that at least some C++ support is offered.  Thus, my question is:

What C++ does CodeWarriorStandard Edition support?  Does this edition offer any STL support?

Thanks,

Stephen

Hello

Standard Edition does not allow you to program in C++.

Please refer to following URL to get more details on feature available in Special, Standard or Professional edition:

Hi,
I never used C++ on small devices but it sounds that your CW only supports a stripped down version of C++ (like this one --> http://www.caravan.net/ec2plus/spec.html).
With EC++ there's now way to use the STL or 'boost' because they heavily rely on templates.
