+Try to detect a C++ compiler from the list of supported compilers (g++, msvc, etc)::
+
+	def options(opt):
+		opt.load('compiler_cxx')
+	def configure(cnf):
+		cnf.load('compiler_cxx')
+	def build(bld):
+		bld.program(source='main.cpp', target='app')
+
+The compilers are associated to platforms in :py:attr:`waflib.Tools.compiler_cxx.cxx_compiler`. To register
+a new C++ compiler named *cfoo* (assuming the tool ``waflib/extras/cfoo.py`` exists), use::
+
+	from waflib.Tools.compiler_cxx import cxx_compiler
+	cxx_compiler['win32'] = ['cfoo', 'msvc', 'gcc']

+	def configure(cnf):
+		cnf.load('compiler_cxx')
+	def build(bld):
+		bld.program(source='main.c', target='app')

+	$ CXX=clang waf configure
