Follow-up Comment #3, bug #44965 (project octave): What is our path forward when we start to use C++11 features? Will we have a list of acceptable features to use? Will we be limiting the systems that can compile Octave? Some systems that are still widely used have older compilers that may not support all the features we use. Or will we have to provide ways to still allow compiling without C++11 when the features are not available? I'd rather avoid that situation as it is just a hassle to always have to do things two ways just to support older compilers. OTOH, forcing everyone to use only the latest compilers never seems to be popular and just results in bug reports about Octave failing to compile. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44965> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
