Hello Boost Community,
I am currently planning a large-scale migration of a legacy codebase from SourcePro Rogue Wave to Boost. Due to strict production requirements, we must maintain the -std=c++03 flag across environments: RedHat 9 (GCC 5.x)
My Question: Is there any version of Boost, which can be considered the "Long Term Support" equivalent for C++03, for which Boost also release latest patch or security vulnerabilities or actively maintain that version?
In short, no. We no longer support C++03 and we don't maintain old versions.
From older post/blogs, it seems Boost does not manage c++03 standard and provide support of latest standard of c++ only i.e. C++14 and so on.
The prevailing minimum requirement is still C++11, and GCC 5 with -std=c++11 is still supported by the majority of libraries. -std=c++03 is not, however.
