I would like to confirm the current stance for C++14. Different Boost libraries support different C++ standards. However, looking at https://www.boost.org/libraries/latest/grid/, it seems that the vast majority support C++14. The only exceptions I see are Cobalt (which is a library for using C++20 coroutines) and MQTT5 (C++17, but only relevant if you want to use the MQTT5 protocol). Some library features may require a later C++ standard, but I'd say that C++14 is still very well supported by Boost. -- Rainer Deyke - [email protected] _______________________________________________ Boost mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://lists.boost.org/mailman3/lists/boost.lists.boost.org/ Archived at: https://lists.boost.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/V5M6E7GR6QOWKDAGXGPZY23CCVE7BRUY/
