<t​rasherdk:monero.social> If I'm not mistaken, even Slackware 15 (g++ 11.2) has C++ 17 support 😎

<0​xfffc:matrix.org> gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html

<0​xfffc:matrix.org> I am very in favour of moving to C++17 (or generally speaking moving fast). That being said, we can’t deny even 18.04 does not provide full C++17 conformance. It is shipped with 7.4 I believe, which a partially supports C++17

<t​obtoht:monero.social> 0xffc: 18.04 is EOL and has a gcc 13 package on the PPA: launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+…ntu/test?field.series_filter=bionic

I'm pretty sure a simple sudo apt update/sudo apt upgrade will get gcc >= 9 on Ubuntu 18.04

and gcc 9 supports c++17

<t​obtoht:monero.social> Even 16.04 has 9 installable: launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+…ntu/test?field.series_filter=xenial

<0​xfffc:matrix.org> I don't trust PPA for my personal computer, let alone building something like Monero.

<0​xfffc:matrix.org> I don't event trust Ubuntu's own compiler. I would prefer to pull compiler source and bootstrap it.

<0​xfffc:matrix.org> The rabbit hole is deep. Very deep.

<t​obtoht:monero.social> 0xffc: I'm well aware. Have a look at #8929

<0​xfffc:matrix.org> tobtoht: Thanks. Will take a look at it right now.
