Another viewpoint is this is a library and that library can be used by older
applications. So being cutting edge on the complier on the library does not
increase the adoption of Geode.
Agree with Alberto that users mailing lists should be consulted.

Hi,
Here come my two cents.
To me, upgrading to C++17 is a no brainer given that C++11 is quite old and
C++17 has lots of new features, performance improvements and bug fixes.
The only thing that could prevent us from doing so is having lots of users that
are running the native client in a platform that does not have a C++17
compiler. Which leads me to the question: should we move this discussion to the
user mailing list?

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the previous email, I did send it before finishing it by mistake.
Currently Geode Native uses C++11 standard. It has been quite some time since
the standard was released and as of today the latest standard is C++20.
As part of another discussion, some users in the community were wondering if
it's the time to switch to C++17 in the Geode Native project.
So, I am putting a list of pros and cons:
Pros:
* Several new features added:
* C++14 features:

* C++17 features:

* Some of the interesting features are:
* Function return type deduction.
* Improved constexpr functions.
* Variable templates.
* Generic lambdas.
* Lambda capture expressions.
* [[deprecated]]
* Shared mutexes/locks.
* std::make_unique
* Nested namespace definitions.
* Structured bindings.
* variant.
* any.
* optional.
Cons:
* Some users might have older compilers which does not implement all C++ 17
features.
Thanks,
Mario.
