Yes, the automatic detection by preprocessor macros is the best method IMHO. However, since we do not know whether we'll need to modify the #ifdef for other compilers again, could we not have this in config.h.in #if __cplusplus >= 201103L || defined(__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__) #define LYX_USE_CXX11 #endif and then keeping everything in src/ unchanged? That looks even cleaner to me. Georg
