But, you'll say, the library will not pass review due to being C++11. Will it not? On what do we base this prediction?
I look forward to the day when the first C++ 11 library enters Boost. But I also recognise that before that can happen, a consensus on how we're going to handle that will have to be reached. Right now the consensus appears to be to use #ifdef and bundle it in with the 03 libraries. I think that outcome the worst of all outcomes, but it appears to be the majority view. That kind of outcome is what caused me to raise the possibility of a C++ 11 only fork.
I think this depends on the library: is a port to C++03 easy? Trivial? Or is the whole focus of the library C++11? Life would be much easier if GCC was C++11 by default. John.
