I'm a bit lost with all that was said in this thread and I think it might be important for qmake usability :-) As a naive user, if I want to use features available in C++11 such as for- range, auto, lambda… I'll simply add CONFIG+=c++11. That's what is required to compile my source code. If it comes with more features, then let it be so. If I must make sure that I don't accidentally use C++14 (or later) features that are not supported by an older compiler, I'll add CONFIG-=c++14. Could somebody kindly summarize the reasons for adding more options such as min_c++ or c++latest or restricting to only one C++ version?
