Hello, is it permitted to transform an existing boost library into a C++11-only library? best, Oliver
Interesting question. I think there are two types: * a library that's completely standalone -no dependencies to anything boost- and requires C++11 * a library that's coupled to libs in boost, but one that doesn't compile with a pre C++11 compiler. The benefit of an aditional C++11 version of an existing lib would IMO be decoupeling from dependency of other libs -like the first type-. The second type is a rewrite where some dependencies to boost are replaces with C++11 dependencies for various reasons: perhaps less lines,or better performance,or better maintainability..
