Is there (still) a problem to switch to C++11 or C++14? Petri-Dish seems to support it for Windows, but there is old standard used for Ubuntu.
GCC C++ standard support: https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11: "GCC 4.8.1 was the first feature-complete implementation of the 2011 C++ standard, previously known as C++0x." https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx14: "GCC has full support for the previous revision of the C++ standard, which was published in 2014. This mode is the default in GCC 6.1 and above; it can be explicitly selected with the -std=c++14 command-line flag, or -std=gnu++14 to enable GNU extensions as well." The table of C++14 features they have shows GCC 5 as the first version to support all the features in the table. Clang C++ standard support: https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html "Clang 3.3 and later implement all of the ISO C++ 2011 standard." "Clang 3.4 and later implement all of the ISO C++ 2014 standard." I don't have a list of what versions of various Linux distributions, what versions of various *BSDs, and what versions of Xcode supporting what versions of macOS have which versions of GCC and/or Clang, but that would help here in determining what OS versions are required for C++11 or C++14 support. This should perhaps go on the "support library version tracking" page, which *already* tracks things other than support libraries, such as CMake: https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Support_library_version_tracking However, the problem with Ubuntu may be that the compiler in the version of Ubuntu running on the buildbot may be old enough that it doesn't *default* to C++11, so we may have to explicitly *ask* for C++11 in the CMake files. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
