I noticed this in lib/verify.h:
/* The condition (99 < __GNUC__) is temporary, until we know about the
first G++ release that supports static_assert. */
#if (99 < __GNUC__) && defined __cplusplus
# define _GL_HAVE_STATIC_ASSERT 1
#endif
The relevant commit is:
commit ef1271787
Author: Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org>
Date: Sat Apr 9 02:12:11 2011 +0200
verify: Fix syntax error with GCC 4.6 in C++ mode.
This is odd, since the GCC web page on C++11 support:
https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11
says that static assertions have been supported for C++ since GCC 4.3:
Static assertions N1720
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1720.html> GCC 4.3
<https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/changes.html> __cpp_static_assert >= 200410
Assuming I'm failing to understand something, could the comment in verify.h
be clarified as to what exactly is missing, if indeed it still is?
