H. Vetinari commented on ARROW-17110:
-------------------------------------
Just FYI, conda-forge
[now|https://github.com/conda-forge/abseil-cpp-feedstock/pull/35] provides
static builds of C++11/C++14 as "escape hatches" for packages that cannot yet
use the C++17 dynamic libs. This takes the heat off a little bit - i.e. it
allows packages to move at their own speed w.r.t to C++, as opposed to forcing
a conda-forge-wide choice for abseil -, but note that the next abseil version
will still drop C++11 compatibility, so a move to at least C++14 will still be
necessary in the near-ish future.

> Key: ARROW-17110

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: C++
> Reporter: H. Vetinari
> Priority: Major

> The upcoming abseil release has dropped support for C++11, so
> {_}eventually{_}, arrow will have to follow. More details
> [here|https://github.com/conda-forge/abseil-cpp-feedstock/issues/37].
> Relatedly, when I
> [tried|https://github.com/conda-forge/abseil-cpp-feedstock/pull/25] to switch
> abseil to a newer C++ version on windows, things apparently broke in arrow
> CI. This is because the ABI of abseil is sensitive to the C++ standard that's
> used to compile, and google only supports a homogeneous version to compile
> all artefacts in a stack. This creates some friction with conda-forge (where
> the compilers are generally much newer than what arrow might be willing to
> impose). For now, things seems to have worked out with arrow
> [specifying|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/897a4c0ce73c3fe07872beee2c1d2128e44f6dd4/cpp/cmake_modules/SetupCxxFlags.cmake#L121-L124]
> C\+\+11 while conda-forge moved to C\+\+17 - at least on unix, but windows
> was not so lucky.
> Perhaps people would therefore also be interested in collaborating (or at
> least commenting on) this
> [issue|https://github.com/conda-forge/abseil-cpp-feedstock/issues/29], which
> should permit more flexibility by being able to opt into given standard
> versions also from conda-forge.
