That won't work because of this

$ g++ -xc++ -std=c++11 -dM -E - < /dev/null | sort | grep ANSI
#define __STRICT_ANSI__ 1

$ g++ -xc++ -std=gnu++11 -dM -E - < /dev/null | sort | grep ANSI

$


g++ with -std=gnu++11 does not define __STRICT_ANSI__ while g++ -std=c++11 does and those previous printfs functions and only those should be defined for c++11. The other traditional stdio functions should be defined only for g++11 and for traditional C.

People that does not care about compliance will use the gnu++11 version while those that cares about compliance must use the c++11 version and so should be aligned the printfs series from stdio.h


Here at http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ is described which functions borrowed from C are included in the new c++11 standard. I worked for now only on the stdio.h functions but all includes should be checked against the strict compliance for c++11.
