Re: [4diac-dev] Changing C++ standard requirements for FORTE

Hello,

Hello everyone,
with all the new developments in 4diac IDE (FBN features, new ST
grammar, editor, language constructs) we are hitting a ceiling what we
can implement in FORTE, which until now has limited itself mainly to pre
C++11 features (with the exception StopWatch FB).
Now with all the development, we realized that we need modern C++
features, which is why we (Alois and me) propose to switch to C++20 with
FORTE 2.1.x, which every recent GCC-based and MSVC compiler supports
nowadays.
While I applaud the change, is there a specific reason you want to
switch to C++20 in particular? On paper, support may be good, but in
reality the more interesting features of that standard are only
supported by the very latest versions. We should not shut out mainstream
compilers that are still in active support (e.g. GCC 9).
C++17 support, on the other hand, is very mature in all recent
compilers. If there are no specific C++20 features you are thinking of,
I would suggest requiring C++17 for now, with the stated intention to
upgrade this requirement in the future.
