Gerrit Birkeland created AVRO-3995:
--------------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Update build system to disallow compiling with
unsupported language versions
Key: AVRO-3995
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3995
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: c++
Affects Versions: 1.11.3
Reporter: Gerrit Birkeland
In August of 2023 a commit was merged to Avro which effectively forced all
users of the project to compile with C++17 at a minimum, but this wasn't
enforced by the build system anywhere, so currently attempting to compile Avro
with a C++11 or C++14 compiler will result in build errors rather than an
obvious message telling the user what is wrong.
Avro should provide a user friendly error message when attempting to compile
the library with an unsupported C++ standard.
