Awesome :) so no concerns about C++ 11 then ?
There's "concerns about C++" and there's "concerns about C++ 11". The Wireshark Developer's Guide: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChSetupMSVC currently *recommends* Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, and notes that we use that version to build the releases, but also mentions VS 2010. VS 2010 supports some, but not all, features in the C++11 core language specification: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh567368(v=vs.120).aspx GCC 4.8.1 is claimed to be feature-complete for C++ 11: https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11 "Clang 3.3 and later implement all of the ISO C++ 2011 standard.": https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html but "By default, Clang builds C++ code according to the C++98 standard, with many C++11 features accepted as extensions. You can use Clang in C++11 mode with the -std=c++11 option." I don't know which versions of various vendor compilers for UN*X (Oracle Studio, IBM XLC++ or whatever they call it, HP C++) support what versions of the C++ standard; this page: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support "is maintained as best-effort and may lag behind most recent compiler releases" but might be worth checking. If we were to require C++ 11 support, we might need to change the autoconf script or the CMake files to ensure that we use flags such as -std=C++11 when building C++ code. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
