Sorry, but QNX 6.6 is based on GCC 4.7. With OEMs barely finishing to migrate from 6.5, I would not advise to drop QNX 6.6 support yet. QNX 7 has just launched, so I expect a couple of years for vendors to catch up. I mean it! There are lots of vendors constrained by their underlying platform, and telling them to upgrade their version that soon will not work. Unfortunately for us, their development cycle seems to be much, much longer than ours. We need to find a compromise, a balance, and in my opinion, dropping QNX 6.6 support in Qt 5.10 is not reasonable. Perhaps for Qt 6, it would be. But I may be wrong. If the only problem is the bug Marc mentioned above, to me this is not even a trade-off. We should just work around the bug for QNX, if possible, and move on.
