Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-3610:
---
[~mgrigorov] I think that will be a great improvement.
When we worked on moving Avro to "modern C++" last year, we were conservative
and didn't want to make a big leap from C++TR1 to C++14 or C++17. Now that a
year has passed without much issues, it makes a lot of sense to do it now. Of
the three choices we have (C++14, C++17 and C++20) I guess C++17 is the best
first step because:
* It is widely available
* changes to Avro exploiting C++17 will be incremental. Using C++20's main
features viz. concepts and modules will require a lot of changes. In fact, I
think it makes sense to build a new Avro binding for C++20 from ground up.
Overall, I think it is a great idea to move to C++17.
