[PATCH RFC] build: update bootstrap req to C++14

Jason Merrill jason@redhat.com
Wed Sep 18 16:18:00 GMT 2024


Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with 5.5.0 bootstrap compiler.  Thoughts?

-- 8< --

This implements my proposal to update our bootstrap requirement to C++14.
The big benefit of the change is the greater constexpr power, but C++14 also
added variable templates, generic lambdas, lambda init-capture, binary
literals, and numeric literal digit separators.

I'm not sure which GCC version to mention here.  C++14 was feature-complete
in GCC 5, and became the default in GCC 6.  5.5.0 builds trunk with no
trouble, but of course trunk also doesn't use any C++14 features.  Looking
at bugzilla, I see only one C++14 fix (PR71630) in 5.5, and it doesn't seem
important.  In 5.4, PR69995 seems potentially significant, so shall we
recommend 5.4 or later?  Or just say 5.5 because people are unlikely to be
stuck on an earlier minor release?

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* doc/install.texi (Prerequisites): Update to C++14.

ChangeLog:

	* configure.ac: Update requirement to C++14.
	* configure: Regenerate.
