We would not be able to.  This is a question about updating the GCC version 
after we require VS2017 which will probably be in the coming months.

But how are you going to use these features before requiring VS2017?

[webkit-dev] update GCC version?

2017-01-07 Thread Alex Christensen 
We are looking into using more C++14 features in WebKit, which would require 
increasing the minimum supported compiler versions.  For example, Yusuke’s 
patch in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165093 
 compiles successfully in clang 
and I verified it compiles successfully in VS2017RC, but it does not compile 
successfully in the minimum supported GCC version on linux because of lack of 
support for C++14 extended constexpr (see 
https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/cpp14-language#extended-constexpr 
 )

We are not ready to require VS2017 just yet.  It hasn’t even been fully 
released.  But there are many C++14 features that are not supported in VS2015 
(see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh567368.aspx 
 and 
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2017-relnotes 
 ) and we 
would like to use these features in WebKit.

Would the linux community be able to increase the minimum supported GCC version?___
