As discussed in MESOS-750 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-750>, we would like to move to C++11.
The proposed plan is to do this in phases to allow everyone time to adjust to this change: Phase 1: Send an email to the dev@ list soliciting objections / feedback. We're currently here. :) Phase 2: Add an option --with-cpp11 that defaults to false. Phase 3: At this point, developers can and should begin using --with-cpp11. In this phase, we'll need to make sure the project and dependencies can compile with c++11. Phase 4: Default to --with-cpp11 but still leave the option in order to allow folks to turn this off if needed. At this point, we still cannot rely on C++11. Phase 5: Remove --with-cpp11 leaving no ability to turn it off. From this point forward, we can begin to use C++11 features unconditionally. Please reply to this thread with any objections, comments, or advice! To get a better sense of how others feel about this (I currently only know that some of the other core contributors are on board), please feel free to reply with something as simple as a +1 as well. Thanks! Ben
