The 7.1 C++ compiler does indeed support bool (which you can
disable/enable with -LANG:bool={ON,OFF}), exceptions
(-LANG:exceptions=ON|OFF). If you want namespaces and member
templates, you can even play with -experimental.

It may be that some/all of these features are only available when
you are compiling -n32: -32 gets you the older ucode compilers,
where the front end might not be as up to date (although I could
be wrong).

Note that you should probably have the following patches installed:

1637: C++ exception handling patch
1709: c frontend patch
1710: c++ frontend patch
1712: backend patch
