Re: [Barry-devel] Need feedback: C++11 support

[Toby G. <tob...@re...>]

Hi,

For my desktop use of Barry I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, but I was planning 
on upgrading to 12.04 when it's released (assuming it's the next LTS 
Ubuntu). For all the cross compilation the compilers used by me are:
QNX - gcc-4.4.2
Android - gcc-4.4.3
Linux ARM - gcc 4.1.2

However I'd be surprised if some of those version numbers haven't been 
increased by the end of next year. Even if they haven't then it should 
be possible to compile an updated version of GCC for all those 
platforms, which would at least give support for the syntax changes (but 
probably not the library or threading changes very easily).

Overall I'd probably make my life easier to put off using C++11 features 
for as long as possible, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if they 
were used, especially if they made the development of Barry easier.

Regards,

Toby
