[gentoo-user] Unknown gcc-version needed by nvidia-cuda-toolkit?

[tuxic]

Hi,

while doing the update of my system I got this:

Calculating dependencies... done!
 * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 * the following required packages not being installed:
 * 
 *   <sys-devel/gcc-7[cxx] pulled in by:
 *     dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-9.1.85

Installed is this:

...I think, that gcc-7.3.0 matches  <sys-devel/gcc-7[cxx]...

But what is the 'c' in '[cxx]' for? And why is the installation of the
gcc not recognized as espected?

It needs gcc LESS than version 7. But you have all masked.

If the cxx useflag is active, gcc will have support to compile c++
