Hi, We're currently using C++14 at my workplace and we're contemplating a switch to C++17. We're using GCC 8.2.1 as that's what's provided by Red Hat 7. We've been looking at the https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx1z page and the following statement is made about C++17 support: > GCC has experimental support for the latest revision of the C++ standard, which was published in 2017. > C++17 features are available as part of "mainline" GCC in the trunk of GCC's repository and in > GCC 5 and later. To enable C++17 support, add the command-line parameter -std=c++17 to your g++ command line. Or, to enable GNU extensions in addition to C++17 features, add -std=gnu++17. > Important: Because the final ISO C++17 standard is still new, GCC's support is experimental. No attempt will be made to maintain backward compatibility with implementations of C++17 features that do not reflect the final standard. Supposing one sticks to standard C++, does one need to worry about functionality breaking in the future? Seems unlikely, as the standard is already published but then how should we read that statement? Thanks, Bogdan.
