implement older compilers (clang 3.[0..5] and gcc 4.7) #196

Open odinthenerd opened 6 years ago

odinthenerd commented 6 years ago

looking at the libs on here there seems to be a lot of support for compilers which are older than those currently offered. I am looking to add a legacy mode to boost.tmp (same front end different back end) using this pattern https://godbolt.org/g/W62iut and I would like to bench it against others on here (initially its probably going to suck). would it be feasible to add a few more clang versions and g++-4.7 ?

mp11: g++ 4.7 or later clang++ 3.3 or later Visual Studio 2013, 2015, 2017

metal: GCC | 4.7 | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Clang | 3.4 | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Clang | 3.5 | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

meta: clang >= 3.4

brigand: clang >= 3.4

Feel free to submit a PR that adds new compilers to the Travis. Just make sure libraries that don't support those compilers are not tested on them (or they'll fail).

I think it would also be good not to add too many legacy compilers, since this will increase the number of jobs. We should be slightly careful about this.

I'll see if I can find time, I agree that we shouldn't murder Travis
