<div dir="ltr">Alright, trying to get this conversation back on track...<div><br></div><div style>It seems as though the question to ask is: do the benefits of the C++11 features we want outweigh the cost of alienating users of older compilers? For Mac, the question seems almost moot since clang is a fully-supported compiler. On Linux, it is most often (always?) possible to bootstrap clang or a newer GCC, so a baseline like 4.5/4.6 does not seem unreasonable. Seems like the same should be true for the BSDs. It may be a bit of work to set up, but it should be a one-time deal. Once a clang 3.1/3.2 binary is available, all is well. The problem child, so to speak, is Windows. I strongly suggest that support for MSVC *not* be dropped. There are many users out there relying on this support. That said, I think MSVC 2010 is a reasonable target, at least for 3.3. And then perhaps move to MSVC 2012 for 3.4. That should allow for enough time for users to upgrade.</div>

It is obvious that you don't develop C++ software on Windows for a<br>
