[SailfishDevel] Request for modern C++ compiler in the SailfishOS SDK

[Putze Sven]

Hi there,

yes the subject is quite a bit provocative :-)

When I get it right there is a gcc4.6.4 on the MerSDK virtual machine. An up-to-date version of gcc should be something around 4.8. Usually I am not part of the "I must always have the latest version" race but with reference to compilers this would be *really* nice to have. Just think of full C++11 support. And as you just mentioned it(*), are there any plans regarding clang as compiler? This thingy produces far better error messages than gcc.

BR.
