Nice to know, although nobody piped up on the earlier cited discussion. Sony is invested in making the lit tests C++11 clean so that we can upstream a change to make it the default C++ dialect for PS4. That will ensure that any new C++ tests are C++11 clean. This is one step in the direction of making C++11 (or even something newer) the default dialect for everybody. However we are not an Objective-C++ vendor. We are neutral about changing the default dialect there; if you want to change the default dialect for Objective-C++, that's fine with us, but I don't think we can invest in learning enough about Objective-C++ to do the right thing with the existing Objective-C++ tests. In particular I don't know whether forcing 98 on these tests is the "right" solution; all we know is that it made the tests pass, which is not particularly surprising. I really think Apple would need to step up here if the default Objective-C++ dialect is going to change. > It is likely that the Rewriter generates C++98-only code.

I am pretty sure we already modified the Rewriter tests to explicitly compile the rewritten C++ as -98 code. It's just the straight Objective-C++ tests where Charles has stepped back. --paulr https://reviews.llvm.org/D29739 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
