Closed droidmonkey closed 4 years ago
For a project of my company, I did patch successfully qhttp v3.0 to move back to C++11 (and also supports Qt 5.3 which was another requirement for us). As @droidmonkey said, it was not that big.
For your information, I released the backport here: https://github.com/oliviermaridat/qhttp
Motivation
C++14 is still not widely supported by Linux baselines. Furthermore, the v3.0 release is FAR superior to the v2.1 release, yet the requirement for C++14 largely has nothing to do with that superiority.
We are looking to integrate qhttp into KeePassXC but we cannot move to C++14 due to backwards compatibility.
Details
There are only two places in the code that require the use of C++14:
httpparser.hxx#L98 which can easily be fixed by changing the
auto
toTImpl*
since you are static casting it anyway.httpwriter.hxx#L87 This loop block was rewritten in C++14 syntax for no obvious gain. It can be easily reverted back to the C++11 equivalent:
