Benjamin Mahler commented on MESOS-750:
---------------------------------------
Does the following process seem reasonable?
Phase 1: Send an email to the dev@ list soliciting objections / feedback.
Phase 2: Add an option --with-cpp11 that defaults to false.
Phase 3: At this point, developers can and should begin using --with-cpp11.
Phase 4: Default to --with-cpp11 but still leave the option in order to allow
folks to turn this off if needed.
Phase 5: Remove --with-cpp11 leaving no ability to turn it off.
> Require compilers that support c++11

> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benjamin Mahler

> Requiring C++11 support will provide substantial benefits to Mesos.
> Most notably, the lack of lambda support has resulted in a proliferation of
> continuation style functions scattered throughout the code. Having lambdas
> will allow us to reduce this clutter and simplify the code.
> This will require carefully documenting how to get Mesos compiling on various
> systems to make this transition easy.
