C++11 as standard

[krisklau]

Hi,

I was wondering if there has been any discussion about using C++11 as default for DUNE? We have been using it internally for a while, and several of the features are really useful when working with DUNE.

It's definitely something that I've been ruminating in the last few months. From the developer point of view it's a no-brainer. However, since we (OceanScan) have a lot of systems in the field with C++98 only compilers it would be a major effort for us to upgrade those systems in order for them to run new DUNE versions. With that being said, I'm inclined to take the leap to C++14 one of these days.

That makes sense, and thank you for the reply.

In the meantime, would be it an option to somehow enable this on a task-specific basis? Or the other way around, disable tasks if C++14 is not available for the compiler? This would make it possible to use the legacy compilers for most of the tasks.

I'l close this for now as I mainly wanted your input, keep us posted.

Reopened to hear the status of this.

I gave LSTS access to OceanScan-MST codebase which already sets the required C++ standard to C++-14. We are using gcc 4.9 for production which supports C++-11 and some C++-14 features.
