It would make sense to support -std for C++, with possible values being iso14882:1998 and g++98, but it's never going to make sense to specify a C standard (ISO 9899) version when compiling C++, and there ought to be appropriate errors given if you try to do so; the lack of error messages is a bug. -- Joseph S.
