clang 3.4 is rejected by requires(c++11) already. >Please think of Clang on Linux and FreeBSD, plus the older XCode that we still >support on OS X. This is LTS and the last version before we require C++11, so >expect people will try to build it with older versions. >Why do we insist on testing for something that proxies the real need? We need >X and we know that Y provides X, so we test for Y. Why can't we just test for >X? Effort and speed. The compile test should not delay the 5.6.0 release and such a test would take much more time. After all we would have to go through the entire code base and identify all C++11 features we are using. That's bound to have the same gaps too. I want to emphasize qtserialbus is not the first module to do such a compiler based rejection pattern. For 5.6.0 this is good enough. Nevertheless I filed https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51655 and we might have a better solution for 5.6.1. -- Alex _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
