The test suite will tell us.

The AI has already provided this feedback (assuming it's correct).


I have finished reviewing the build machine logs to get the compiler versions.


According the AI, these targets don't support C++17:

oorexx-ubuntu16-build (minimum 18.04)
no compiler version in log


According the AI, these targets are OK for C++17 language support (GCC ≥ 7.1), 
but are at risk for C++17 standard library support (GCC < 12.0):

ooRexx-linux-aarch64-build
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 11.4.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 11.4.0

ooRexx-NetBSD10-build
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 10.5.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 10.5.0

ooRexx-OpenSuse15-build
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 7.5.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 7.5.0

ooRexx-RaspberryPiOS32-build
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 10.2.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 10.2.1

ooRexx-RaspberryPiOS64-build
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 10.2.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 10.2.1

ooRexx-Ubuntu22-build
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 11.4.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 11.4.0


I will wait a few days for any additional feedback.
Then I will bump the C++ standard to C++17 and see what happens on the build 
machine.
