Hello everyone,
I have recently been writing some code which uses ActiveMQ-CPP library.
Due to the fact, that I have used C++17 and C++20, I started writing
some RAII-related code for the library types/functions (e.g. custom
deleters), and it made me wonder: would it not be good to provide some
of those functionalities on library level? Since C++11 playing around
with new/delete is no more needed, same about threading API.
Please don't get me wrong: I really appreciate the API that decaf::
provides, yet in the end I tend to to write my own wrappers/adapters to
be more-less in-line with contemporary C++ standard lib.
Last but not least, auto_ptr deprecation warnings look just ugly on in
my build log and maybe at least moving away from those should do no harm.
I am keen on contributing to the library by migrating at least parts of
it to newer C++ standard (I am doing sth similar anyway), however I
would need some guidelines on what is potentially safe to touch/migrate
and how to approach it, e.g. what C++ target standard should be.
If this is totally undesired and "backwards compatibility is king" feel
free to turn me down.
Best regards,
Aleksander Miera
