Dear All, What made me hesitate to definitely switch to C++11 is the fact that the version of gcc on the stable release of Ubuntu (2012) is gcc 4.6.4. that does not support C++11. Consequently, caution rather led me to wait a little longer (namely 2017 the next stable version of Ubuntu). In addition, I did not personally need the new features of C++11 for the moment (of course, I would not have developed the library gmm in the same way with the features of C++11 if it had been available in the early 2000s!). But of course, I understand Andriy who sees the interest to use these new features. Three years is a little bit long. I am not against the switch but it will force us to use at least gcc 4.8 and force the update of a few things in the code (such as obsolescence of auto_ptr). In conclusion, has anybody some further arguments against the switch ? If not, I think I will check carrefully the compatibility of Getfem sources to gcc 4.8 and enforce C++11 ... Yves.
