Re: [cmake-developers] Use of C++11 in CMake's own source code

[Minze Zwerver]

That was my merge request.

Which didn't get accepted anyway. I'm currently starting a new clone to
address all the points the CI had.
But after reading this I'll also remove the C++11 stuff.

We allow C++14 in code guarded by HAVE_SERVER_MODE because that is
a new/optional feature that doesn't have to work on all platforms yet.

Everything not guarded by HAVE_SERVER_MODE needs to be able to compile
in all language levels C++98 and above.  We have CM_NULLPTR and similar
macros to enable C++11 safety checks when building at that level or
above, but they fall back to C++98-compatible code too.

[cmake-developers] Use of C++11 in CMake's own source code

[Craig Scott]

Tried searching the archives for this but too many hits for the general
CMake feature supporting C++11. What's the current policy for use of C++11
in CMake's own source code? A cursory trip through some sources recently
suggested no C++11 features are being used, which I can understand if there
is the requirement to support building CMake on systems with compilers
which don't have C++11 support. I do, however, see some C++11 stuff in at
least one recent merge request, so I'm wondering what the current policy on
this is? I don't want to start a long philosophical discussion, I just want
to clarify the constraints on merge requests, etc.
