I agree with you but any Boost library still has to support C++03 for a good while until compiler vendors catch up with the C++11 standard.
I am :
1/ requesting dropping support for non 03 compliant compiler 2/ starting a C++11 only branch of boost
not the mix of both.
Hi Joel,
I don't know, but I guess that the list of 03 compliant compilers will be quite short. Have you a list?
How do you qualify a C++11 only branch? One that supports only C++11 compliant compilers? One that uses only standard C++11 libraries and itself or could libraries on this branch use libraries on the current Boost branch?
I guess what this comes down to - is what C++11 features do you intend to use? If there are a couple of compilers already supporting what you need, then I suggest you aim for a clean C++11-only MPL if that makes the most sense. We can always call it MPL-2.0 or something and place it in a different tree from "legacy" MPL? John.
