Because 5.15 is LTS, I'd like to make sure we don't lock ourselves to MSVC 2017 until 2023, when that compiler will be coming up on 6 years of age. We should be doing this exercise for all compilers we support. It just occurred to me to send this about MSVC because of the mutex-on-statics discussion in the QStringView thread. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
