Dominic Hamon commented on MESOS-750:
-------------------------------------
I can confirm that the existing C+\+11 check works for g+\+-4.4, 4.6, and 4.8
(and clang 3.4 and 3.5, for the record). However, we do have an issue with
g+\+-4.7 - see MESOS-1095. Also, I haven't checked g+\+-4.5.
So if it is acceptable to develop on that subset of compilers then we can move
forward with requiring C+\+11 and also have a well-defined feature set as part
of the configure step. Thoughts? [~vinodkone]?

> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: technical debt
> Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
>
> Requiring C++11 support will provide substantial benefits to Mesos.
> Most notably, the lack of lambda support has resulted in a proliferation of
> continuation style functions scattered throughout the code. Having lambdas
> will allow us to reduce this clutter and simplify the code.
> This will require carefully documenting how to get Mesos compiling on various
> systems to make this transition easy.
