Well, "modern" C++ is quite unreadable and verbose. Especially the awful tricks for coercing templates to do things they clearly were not designed to do (i.e. about half of the boost libs :P) Also is soooooo slow to compile :((( Last time I checked however we only supported g++ and clang, so there shouldn't be too many restrictions (other than those given by the 'legacy' architecture of kicad, like the huuuge switches instead of virtuals) -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
