Do you know off hand how far back distribution releases of operating systems 
moved up to supporting version 17?

I have appreciated specifically official ooRexx builds for older Ubuntu LTS 
release versions.

And reminder, by the way, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is released and solid... May I 
assist with anything to produce an official ooRexx release targeting that 
version?

I am thankful,

We are currently limited to C++ 11.
C++17 was standardized in 2017, and all of the major compilers we support have 
had full C++17 support for several years.
What about increasing the minimum required C++ standard to C++17?


# Set compiler and linker flags common to all build environments
# current trunk uses the C++ "override" keyword, which requires C++11
if (CMAKE_VERSION VERSION_LESS "3.1")
   if (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "GNU")
     set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} *-std=gnu++11*")
   endif ()
else ()
*set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)*
endif ()


The minimum compiler versions for C++17 support are approximately:

*Compiler        Minimum    Year   C++17 option    Comment*
*                version*

Clang (Linux)    5.0       2017   -std=c++17      C++17 language support 
completed in Clang 5.

Apple Clang     10.0       2018   -std=c++17      Xcode 10 added important 
missing C++17 library headers.

GCC              7.1       2017   -std=c++17      C++17 language support is 
complete in GCC 7.1;
GCC             12.0       2022                   however, the C++17 library 
was not fully complete until GCC 12.0.

MSVC (cl)       19.14      2018   /std:c++17      MSVC toolset shipped with 
Visual Studio 2017 15.7.


So the oldest relevant compiler versions are now 8–9 years old.

Would there be any objection to bumping CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD from 11 to 17?
