Kurt, There's one aspect that doesn't appear clearly to me in the RFC text, which is requirements for user C++ code using the GDAL C++ API. I presume that external code will also have to be compiled in C++11 mode too (because of nullptr or override keywords appearing in headers like gcore/gdal_priv.h for example). Would probably be worth making that explicit (perhaps in "Backward compatibility" paragraph) Editorial remarks: * the reference to "Move OTB to C++14" is after "There are a few related past RFCs that have never been adopted but strongly relate to RFC 68", but OTB C++14 has been adopted as far as I can see * the reference to CMake in "If accepted, currently available build configurations (Autotools, CMake, NMake)" doesn't apply for GDAL. Regarding nmake impacts, there won't be much, apart perhaps removing references to MSVC versions older than the new minimum one that will be supported.
