Do you have a time frame for when GDB will be required to use C++
to compile?

Looking at https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/cxx-conversion, I see
that you will require C++ 98 or 03. Will you enforce that when
compiling?

I ask because I work on CGDB, a GDB front end, and it's written in C so
that it can be compiled anywhere that GDB can. I'd like to transition
CGDB to C++ but only want to do so after GDB is and using the same C++
standard features.
