Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] C++ standard in ebuilds

I don't understand what a potential solution would be.

The various projects use -std=c++XXX because that's what their code
requires. -std=c++XXX can't generally be changed. If a dependent
project is incompatible that's no different than any other case of
incompatible dependencies in Gentoo.

I think -std=c++XXX discussions before happened because gcc changed
the C++ ABI with -std=c++11. I don't think that's particularly
relevant here, since as far as I know different -std=c++XXX values
don't change the ABI with current gcc.

So I guess my understanding is that there isn't a problem different
than existing incompatible dependencies, but maybe I have
misunderstood you.
