Bug ID: 116178
Summary: wish: command line -std=c++newest
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: antto at mail dot bg
Target Milestone: ---
i was told that GCC uses the newest "stable" C++ language std by default when
-std= hasn't been specified
so there's maybe two major flavors of this wish:
1. add an option for the "newest" or "latest" C++ language version that is
still not stable enough but pretty usable, the exact name of the option could
be "-std=c++unstable" to indicate the possibility of minor explosions
2. add an option for the even more newest language version/features which are
very unstable, the option could be called "-std=c++experimental" or so (i'd
personally name it explodymental, but i don't get to decide)
i'd think these options could be handy, for quick tests, or compiler-explorer
scenarios
3. not sure how the "-std=gnu++" should be dealt with, but maybe those should
apply there too? also not sure for other languages since i'm unfamiliar (C,
etc..)
