40- version if that is needed: ` -sycl-std=1.2.1 -std=c++14 ` , for example.
32+ Note: ` -sycl-std ` ** doesn't** imply any C++ standard version to be set,
33+ which means that some default value will be selected. If by some reason, that
34+ default version is not a desired one, it is possible to change C++ version
35+ independently of SYCL/DPC++ standard version via specifying additional option:

38+ If SYCL/DPC++ standard version and C++ standard version (either default value
39+ for the compiler or one which was explicitly set via ` -std ` ) are incompatible,
40+ then it is expected to see compilation errors. Incompatible means that C++
41+ standard version is less than minimum required by SYCL/DPC++ standard.
