Sorry, I don't recall the examples. Is it likely that that some packages won't want -std=gnu++11, but other packages will? And perhaps if they use gnulib, it could be that some directories will want to be compiled with -std=gnu++11 and other directories won't? > is providing the macros for specific standards versions still needed? I'm hoping the answer is "no" but I may be wrong. > And with > respect to feature test macros, do we need to provide macros for > every single language feature, or could we have a core set performed > as part of the mode selection which could correspond to the base > functionality in GCC Most likely you'd want both, no? That's what we do on the C side, anyway: AC_PROG_CC_STDC tries to get a "reasonable" set of features, and feature-test macros are available for each feature of interest. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
