C++11

[Jyby]

Can this be a 0.32.0 thing? We should move towards this.

[Zini]

There is still no progress on the Linux side of things.

Can confirm c++11 compiles on Debian jessie. gcc version 4.9.1 (Debian 4.9.1-4)

I have a patch for niffile.cpp waiting on c++11. It converts recordFactories into a std::map, and uses the find function instead of our current method of manual string compare until a match is found. The problem is the only way I could find to initialize the map was with a braced initializer list, which only works in c++11.

You can also use a function to initialize it. Like this:

*cough* *cough*

Can someone remind me what is holding us from using C++11?

[Zini]

Not much. But don't want to change too many things at the same time. We will move to C++11 after the OSG port is done.

[sirherrbatka]

That makes sense. Thanks for answer.

[Zini]

Started to look into the C++11 transition again.

I found a section the cmake scripts that checks for g++ 4.6 or newer. I presume that is just a leftover. Or does anyone still uses a g++ older than 4.6? That would seriously limit our options.

Also, what is the oldest version of boost we still need to support? Anything older than 1.51 still in use?

Well... because travis-ci requires precise, we're still using its default boost libraries.

- Boost version: 1.46.1

-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.6.3
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.6.3

[Zini]

No problem. I can deal with the boost issue. I guess no one depends on anything older? Then I can as well throw out the check for 4.6.
