[Development] Raising the minimum Core Language to C++14 for Linux/XCB

2018-07-05 Thread Thiago Macieira
On Mac, we kinda already require that. I'm asking to raise the minimum for the regular Linux builds to C++14. Specifically, I'm asking for the "auto" functions without trailing return type and relaxed constexpr. Currently, our minimum supported GCC version is 4.7 (on QNX only) and 4.8 elsewhere
