Hi,

I believe this is all we need in order to get the ball rolling in the 
library for -std=c++1y.

If we think it's conceptually clearer (no difference in practice, 
because cxx11 == cxx0x), for the legacy C++0x macro we could also do:

       if (cxx_dialect >= cxx0x && cxx_dialect < cxx1y)
          cpp_define (pfile, "__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__");

I'm finishing testing the below on x86_64-linux.

Thanks,
Paolo.

I prefer the patch as you posted it.  I would like us to actually
move to deprecate __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ in
GCC-4.9 and remove it in the release after that.
I don't think our support C++11 is still that experimental.
we can't have experimental support for two C++ standards going on :-)
Other implementations are thumping the chest about
being C++11 feature complete for less than what we offer.

Patch OK.

I would really rather avoid introducing another macro to be removed 
again later.  Instead, let's use a value of __cplusplus greater than 
201103L, perhaps 201300?

yes, that makes sense, and even a better path forward.
Hopefully, the next committee draft will have that value.

We won't have a value for the next standard until we have a next 
standard, so let's just invent a value for now; presumably people will 
know better than to check for that invented value specifically.

This "invention" scared me, that's why I didn't even propose it. Anyway, 
for the time being I'm going to simply revert what I committed earlier 
today. It would be great if somebody can implement the __cplusplus 
change as soon as possible.

Thanks!
Paolo.

We can always try to convince the project editor to honor a tradition
from the past where the editor would set the value of __cplusplus
to a value that reflect the approval date of a working draft.  This is purely
editorial and he could exercise that discretion to help implementor
do the right thing.  That way, we don't have to way to have
a standard.  Of course, programmers should not test for equality
of that value.
