[swift-lldb-dev] [swift-dev] Switching swift to C++14

[Daniel Dunbar]

FWIW, llbuild requires C++14.

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.

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?

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.
