See https://stackoverflow.com/a/14678298 for a proper explanation and especially a [comment](https://stackoverflow.com/a/15045156) further down explaining that it depends on compiler as well. > > What I do think though, and why I think libraries such as [continuable](https://github.com/Naios/continuable) are in C++14, is that C++11 doesn't support some template niceties that may make implementing template lambdas difficult for celix. Ok, good info. Note that eventually all callbacks are stored as std::function<void()> in the SharedPromiseState. With the current setup this cannot be template, because callbacks with different signatures (e.g.a success, failure, thenAccept, etc callbacks) are simplified as std::function<void()> and stored. That being said, the Promise API can be updated to accept template args. For this PR I will add this as remark to the readme. A future update will then address this. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
