For the proton C++ binding there are a bunch of features in modern C++ (c++11) that are relevant (lambdas, std::function, threading and async support etc. etc.) The binding to date is written to work with c++03.
In terms of strategy going forward I would like to suggest the following: 1. We keep a core binding (equivalent to what is there now) that works with c++03. 2. For new features beyond that, if c++11 provides a much better way to solve the problem we should use it without attempting to retrofit a solution for c++03 PROVIDED that you can still build the core binding with c++03 (where extended features are in separate .hpp files or are deleted by #ifdefs) The idea here is to keep a usable binding for c++03 but not to tie ourselves to the development cost of maintaining backwards compat for every new feature in perpetuity. Of course we can change the policy if there is a storm of protest from c++03 developers (or conversely drop c++03 entirely if there isn't :) Cheers Alan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
