<div class="">We care about swiftc and llbuild building a variety of platforms today — FreeBSD, Rasberry Pi, etc. My impression is that C++14 is generally supported by both (a) the mininum versions of the distributions we support today and (b) the current versions of the platforms we’d like to expand Swift to in the future.

When you changed llbuild to require C++14, what platforms did you take into account with that change? If you have already done the assessment here it could speed a resolution of a decision.<br class="">

FWIW, llbuild requires C++14.<br class="">

We have to do some minor shenanigans to workaround bugs in libstdc++ on 14.04, and our use is probably minimal, but just throwing that out there.<br class="">

No one else has commented on this yet today, so I'll put in that I don't have any objections to this and don't foresee any major problems. The one place where we'd need to be careful is with LLDB, which imports Swift headers; if Swift is going to move to C++14, then Swift-LLDB probably has to as well. LLDB folks, what do you think?<br class="">
<br class="">
The other thing to check is if our minimum Clang or libstdc++ requirements on Linux didn't support C++14. It looks like our README is vague on that, but LLDB already suggests a minimum requirement of Clang 3.5, which is new enough. I suspect we're okay here.<br class="">

Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
The newer Windows SDK requires the use of C++14 (the SDK headers use `auto` return types without trailing type information). Joe mentioned that there was some interest in switching the rest of swift to C++14 as well. I figured that I would just start a thread here to determine if this is okay to do globally rather than just specifically for the Windows builds to ensure that we can build the Windows components.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks.<br class="">
