Re: [webkit-dev] Using C++20 in WebKit

[Alex Christensen via webkit-dev]

I’m also excited about using coroutines in WebKit.  If there is already a GCC 
requirement for using a compiler that supports C++20, is there a reason not to 
switch from C++17 to C++20 later in 2021?

I recently upgraded GCC requirement to 8.3.0 based on 
https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/GCCRequirement 
 
(https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/283348/webkit 
)
As a result, we can use some of C++20 features.
I wonder if we can flip C++20 now. While some of C++20 features cannot be used 
since GCC 8.3.0 does not support, but some of features can be used, and it is 
super useful.
One of the good features is initializer for bit-fields, which can avoid 
uninitialized bit-field bugs.

class A {
bool m_test : 1 : { false };
};

[webkit-dev] Using C++20 in WebKit

[Alex Christensen via webkit-dev]

In April 2019 in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197131 
 I increased WebKit’s minimum 
C++ language requirement from C++14 to C++17.  In 2022 I’m planning to increase 
WebKit’s minimum C++ requirement from C++17 to C++20.  Would April 2022 be a 
good time to do that?___
