Well, yes, but that's not a problem for libstdc++, because, presumably, it is always compiled with the latest C++ supported by the compiler.
Yeah, that is probably true, let's go with that! Maybe a similar convention is possible for Boost as well, i.e. we support
linking executables compiled only for C++ <= N, where N is the version that Boost was compiled for. It's difficult to enforce, though.
It would be better to up the minimum required version of C++ (to C++11), and let those who don't want to move (pun intended), to stick with their old copy (pun intended) of Boost. degski
