You know Sergio, I gave up trying to "fix" anything in Qt. The submission and build process was beyond a nightmare. Many, many, many good fixes were lost over the years because many many many people had fixes lost in that process. Probably still are being lost because so many of us who tried over the years simply gave up. Even if there is a new process, most of us just won't bother.

This particular bug identifies the complete falacy of automated testing. If being able to compile under C++11 really is a requirement then the automated test build should be forcing C++11 and this shouldn't have made it out. If abandoning C++11, which appears to be the direction, really is the direction, then it is not a bug, but death of a standard. At some point, as younger developers want to play with all of the new toys, that will happen.

Thank you Alex, but, Qt stopped compiling under C++11 with version
5.11 and I haven't heard of that changing.

Please fix these kind of bugs when you bump into them, it's unlikely
someone will do it for you.
If you use the opensource license you can't just act like a
spectator/consumer and complain when your odd configurations don't
work.

Sergio
