But does not Red Hat Developer Toolset 10.x support C/C++17? See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_developer_toolset/12/html-single/user_guide/index#sect-GCC-CPP-Compatibility. Although I myself have an earlier version of the Developer Toolset installed on my own computer, it seems that the latest release, Developer Toolset 12 even supports C/C++20? If my reading is correct, it would seem the compiler requirement can be met? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
