Roger Leigh commented on XERCESC-2190:
--------------------------------------
I think that as a project we should have a clearly supported list of platforms
and compilers which we target, and be very clear about what isn't supported.
When it comes to Windows, I'd personally cut it off when Microsoft stop
supporting it completely. I've generally used their support page for this.
For example:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet By
this page, the final Windows 7 release went out of support in January, and also
so did the server version Windows 2008R2. This leaves us with Windows 8.1 and
10 to support.
On top of this, there are the corresponding Visual Studio versions which
support these releases. For these two major versions, that includes VS2013,
VS2015, VS2017 and VS2019. In other projects, I target a maximum of three
Visual Studio releases simply due to the logistics of testing and supporting
several versions. For Xerces-C, I'd suggest that as the maximum due to the
manpower available. That would give use a VS2015 baseline.
For 3.3, if that sounds reasonable, I'd like to make that official. Similarly,
making C++11 the minimum on all platforms would be something to consider, given
that at this point it's available almost universally.
