I'm using Ubuntu LTS 14.4 (a distro one year old with long support) and gcc-4.8 does not support regular expressions yet!
If you are using a compiler from two years ago, why do you care? Older compilers and their corresponding libraries will have auto_ptr.
At another place I'm using up-to-date RHEL 6.x... it comes with gcc-4.4 and guess what is C++11 support level is there?
If you are using a compiler from six years ago, why do you care? Older compilers and their corresponding libraries will have auto_ptr.
So removing very useful stuff that isn't really that bad and that is used in library interfaces (so its removal breaks APIs) it what is what Linus Torvalds would say "brain damaged" decision.
Linus is, of course, entitled to his opinion. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com (847) 691-1404
