What is C++ version for cocos?

[v1993]

I want to do some contribution to cocos2d-x, but not sure about using std::make_unique.

Is it ok to use c++14 or not?

All the build with c++11 standard for now. No c++14 feature was used.

is the c++ 14 feature supported well by compilers, included android NDK & GCC ?

[v1993]

I even use C++17 which is 100% supported by android and linux. Most probably by windows and apple OSes too. We will have to replace some things in build files.

@drelaptop Can you check it or I'll have to do pull request by myself? I'm quite busy now, so one or two month later.

refer to https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support , we can found 99% of the C++14 features was supported by GCC & Clang & MSVC .

if we decide to update from C++ 11 to C++ 14，developer will need update GCC 4.9 to 5.0+, VS2015 to VS2017. So do we need it? I invite @minggo @PatriceJiang to share options.

If C++ 14 is well supported, i think it is ok to update to it. But it is not urgent, we can support it in next version(the version after 3.18).
