[llvm-dev] [RFC] migrating past C++11

[JF Bastien via llvm-dev]

After a few attempts I think we’re in sight of success: we only have the two following bots remaining with old versions of libstdc++ and new versions of clang:

polly-amd64-linux
polly-arm-linux

Once fixed the toolchain bump should stick.

Some of them are down, I therefore have no idea what they run. Here are the bots that will definitely break, with their maintainers:
