I wouldn't hold my breath on C++11 from the WRS Workbench. I think we're still using VxWorks 6.3 on the cRIO for 2012. Perhaps one of the beta test teams would care to comment? What version do you have for the 2012 beta?

Remarkably, in the professional world, VxWorks 6.3 was one of the versions to be skipped due to bugs and problems with the workbench itself. Most commercial companies skipped 6.3 and waited for 6.4. Of course, the big problem for FIRST with 6.3 is that 64-bit platforms (most laptops purchased in the past 2 years) are not officially supported. So, using Workbench on Windows 7 64-bit is sketchy at best. For me, most of it seems to work except the ability to deploy code to the cRIO. For that I have to use Filezilla. Others who have tried Workbench on 64-bit platforms have met with various failures.

HTH,

Mike
