Hi,
mongo-cxx-driver notices this:
"Important note about C++11/C++14: The boost libraries do not offer a
stable ABI across different versions of the C++ standard. As a result,
you must ensure that your application, the C++ driver, and boost are
all built with the same language standard. In particular, if you are
building the C++ driver with C++11 enabled, you must also build your
application with C++11 enabled, and link against a C++11 compiled
boost. " [1]

Is it true? What changes with new standard? (or is this only related to
ABI change in gcc introduced by c++11?)

I'm interested mainly in libraries: filesystem, chrono, thread, system
and regex

Thanks,
Marek
