This warning is only relevant when object files compile with and without
C++17 language level are to be linked into a single executable; starting
with C++17, new style 'noexcept' specifications will become part of the
function signature and thus part of the mangled function name. Linkiing
mixed object files might fail in such a situation.
Obviously this warning is not relevant for us; moreover we plan to
upgrade to C++17 soon
...this is proposed by debian; lets see how this turns out
We could also add -fstack-protector-strong, but I prefer
to set this in the package definition
...this will be the third preview release
Lumiera is still in pre-alpha stage, and thus
there are no proper releases, just preview snapshots.
Again this version will be built and packaged
on several supported Linux platforms
This means we have rather tight compiler requirements now.
Beyond that, we expect no serious impact; the most notable
C++14 feature we're likely to use soon is type inference
on lambda arguments.
Why GNU extensions? They where on by default previously,
so we're changing nothing besides the C++ standard level.
AFAIK, we're using a GNU extension at one place, and this
could be replaced by 'decltype' now.
The recommendation is to use the link flag --no-undefined
and to fed *all* dependencies to the respective link step.
This changeset enables this strict linking of dependencies.
It turned out that our dependencies were already sane
(with the sole exception of a direct dependency to X-Lib
in the XV viewer widget)
...this will be the second preview release
Lumiera is still in pre-alpha stage, and thus there
are no proper releases, just preview snapshots
from time to time.
But we're providing Debian packages allready
Note: this drops some backwards compatibility. We're targeting now
roughly the range between Ubuntu-Precise (LTS) and Debian/testing,
with Debian/stable as the reference system.
The naming scheme for Boost-Libraries was adjusted with Boost-1.42
for Unix-Platforms. Now the '-mt' suffix isn't included any more, but
the libraries available through the usual packaging mechanisms can be
assumed to be thread safe.
