[Ecolab-list] C++11 support and usage

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

My shiny new copy of Stroustrup's 4th edition of C++ programming
language has now hit my desk, and I'd like to start using C++11
features in my programming, as there's some really good stuff there.

The issue is what are my legacy compilers I need to support. Given
where I'm at, I can probably use the most recent gcc compilers, so
I'll probably settle on the language subset that the latest intel C
compiler supports.

Is there anyone out there using EcoLab on an older production system
where it is not feasible to upgrade to more recent gcc's or intel
compilers. If so, what version are you on.

With respect to Classdesc, classdesc will need to remain being C++98
compatible, whilst checking that newer C++11 features are supported.

I will start working on C++11 compatibility with Classdesc first.

Cheers
