Hi!

Is there any plan to set version 4.0 to support C++11? Cause C++11 is more widely used C_standard, many projects are based on it .

As far as I know, you should be able to link bit7z to C++11 projects without any issues, provided that you use the same compiler for building both (or even different compiler versions with ABI-compatible standard libraries).

Did you experience any issues with linking bit7z to a C++11 project? If so, could you provide more details (e.g., compiler used, its version, etc.)? Thank you!

As a side note, I have no plan to reintroduce C++11 support for the internal source code of bit7z v4.0, at least for now.

I moved the project to use at least the C++14 standard since it allowed me to clean up the code and make it more readable and easily maintainable.

However, I don't exclude the possibility of reintroducing the support to C++11 to a later version of the library (v4.1?), but only if it doesn't result in worse code maintainability.

The library's public API should still be C++11-compatible, though (unless I missed something)! So as long as you're not using a really old compiler, you should not have any issues!
