He most likely meant Xerces-J. As far as I know, there hasn't been any
work done in Xerces-C++ to add support for XML Schema v1.1.

No, neither Xerces-C++ nor XSD support XML Schema v1.1. We also don't
have any immediate plans to add this support.

The problem with XML Schema v1.1 is that it continued on the same path
as v1.0 instead of trying to solve the problem. v1.0 was already insanely
complex. v1.1 just added to that complexity. It is also moving more and
more towards "procedural validation" (e.g., xs:assert) rather than
"declarative validation" which makes it a lot less suitable for data
binding. As a result, we don't have any immediate plans to support
new features added in v1.1.
