I want to understand which version of clang Apple installed in my macbook, to see with c++11 and/or c++14 features are available. I typed this command:

clang --version

//----response
Apple LLVM version 7.0.0 (clang-700.1.76)     
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0    
Thread model: posix

But I am not able to understand what (clang-700.1.76) mean. How can I convert this code to a clang version?

This is the site where you could check c++ features available in clang version http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html

Wikipedia's Xcode page has a map of Apple to LLVM versions. The LLVM column has the open-source LLVM/Clang version. From this you can look up a language feature in cppreference's chart of compiler support for language features.
