I'm considering bumping up the C++ language requirement for Boost.URL from C++11 to C++14.
3. Do you know of any regional or global metrics on who _cannot_ use libraries which require C++14?
There were questions about what C++ versions people were able to use in the recent C++ developer survey: https://isocpp.org/files/papers/CppDevSurvey-2022-summary.pdf Moving from C++11 to C++14 reduces the percentage of respondents who can use "pretty much all" of the features of that version from 89.9% to 82.9%. Personally, my only limitation is what Apple's clang derivative supports; currently it lacks some C++20 features. Regards, Phil.
