Hey all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
as already discussed on IRC, here is a first step towards new 17.0 profile sets. |
| 4 |
The switchover from 13.0 to 17.0 is introduced for two reasons: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1) Switch default compiler dialect from gnu++98 (as in <=gcc-5.4) to gnu++14 |
| 7 |
(as in >=gcc-6). |
| 8 |
2) Switch GCC from default-non-PIE to default-PIE executables. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This has the following implications: |
| 11 |
* In 17.0 profiles, <gcc-6 is masked. |
| 12 |
* In 17.0 profiles, >=icu-59 is UNmasked. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
It also has the great advantage that |
| 15 |
* we can tell users "on this profile switch please rebuild all your static |
| 16 |
archives" |
| 17 |
* it's unnecessary to sprinkle the whole ebuild repository with "add-cxxflags - |
| 18 |
std=c++11" just because someone still might use gcc-4 in a few years |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Obviously we're now in the test phase and the official switchover recommendation |
| 21 |
can only happen after gcc-6 is stable. This is also why I'm not touching |
| 22 |
profiles.desc yet. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Patches following for review (only amd64 for now). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Cheers, |
| 27 |
