Thanks. That's very helpful. If gcc 5.1's C++11 support is not experimental then I really think they should change their gcc 5.1 documentation to stop saying that their C ++11 support is experimental. And this general page really needs to be updated likewise: https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html Could those of you in contact with these people please at least find somewhere to report this documentation problem? -- Murray Cumming [email protected] www.murrayc.com _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
