James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4678:
-------------------------------------------

I was talking privately with someone else in the Thrift PMC ([~codesf]) and 
mentioned that I would be okay if thrift 0.12.0 was the last release of thrift 
that worked with C++03; and that the next release could have the option to use 
boost for specific things, or just use std; alternatively we could just drop 
boost all together and rely on std, but that essentially eliminates the 
possibility of rewriting the C++ transport core with boost::asio.  

Distributions that build and distribute a thrift library would have to decide 
if they want to drop the boost dependency or not, knowing it would be 
considered a breaking change for people who consume thrift.  Unfortunately 
having an "option" to use boost or not creates a build-time branch where you 
need a boost and non-boost library.  It may be easier to just say there's no 
boost and no direct pthreads support in the thrift C++ any more, and go 
straight to just using std::thread, and other std::things (unique_ptr, etc).

To answer your question: NO, there is no clear roadmap.  I will open a 
discussion on the user@ mailing list about it and gather replies from folks who 
take the time to respond, and then can put it up for a vote on the dev@ mailing 
list.

>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: C++ - Compiler, C++ - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.11.0
>            Reporter: yuanyuan chen
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The C++11 standard has deprecated the usage of throw() to express 
> exceptions,so to avoid warnings from the compiler,I think this option is 
> useful.
> I have a pull request in github,this issue is created to track it.
> Some questions remain:
> 1.Should we change the runtime c++ library to use BOOST_NOEXCEPT_OR_NOTHROW?
> 2.Should we add an control option to enable all c++11 options like 
> moveable_types .etc?
> 3.Should we begin to support C+17 features? I think std::optional should be 
> used to implement optional keyword,but this is clearly an API breaking 
> change,so we need an c+17 control option.
