[quickbook] Requiring C++11 features in quickbook
Hi, I'm thinking of using some C++11 features in quickbook, will this cause anyone any issues? Based on the support tables, I'm thinking of supporting gcc 4.4, clang 3.4, Visual Studio 2013 and later compilers. I won't use anything that doesn't have wide support (such as expression SFINAE). Please let me know if this will be a problem for you. Daniel

You should check what the CI builds use when building quickbook for the release archives. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

Looks like travis and circleci are using gcc 4.8, so that should be okay.

If you want those upgraded, just let me know. -- Michael Caisse Ciere Consulting ciere.com

Thanks, but 4.8 is definitely good enough.

I doubt it will be an issue for folks building locally. Daniel, just out of curiosity, how hard would it be to add a general "call external tool" rule, that could be re-purposed to generate equations from latex or graphs via graphviz etc? I'm not suggesting you go off and implement it right now... just scoping out the terrain... Thanks, John. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com

Probably not too hard to add to the language, but configuration might be a bit of a pain. I also have no experience of writing cross platform process handling in C++, so I don't know how involved that is. Boost.Process could possibly handle it, but I'm not sure if it's stable enough yet.

I use Visual 2010 for quickbook, but I can move to a more recent version. Ion

Apparently it supports rvalue references and auto, which are two of the big features that I wanted to use. So I could try to support it.
