[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-750) Require compilers that support c++11

["Dominic Hamon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-750?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13916624#comment-13916624 ] 

Dominic Hamon commented on MESOS-750:
-------------------------------------

I'll add:

Non-static data member initializers -- reduces constructor boilerplate/uninitialized variables
Null pointer constant -- catches easy to make mistakes assigning 'NULL' to non-pointers
Strongly-typed enums -- makes APIs more concrete
Generalized constant expressions -- allows complex static construction of objects
Range-based for -- alternative to our hand-rolled foreach

> Requiring C++11 support will provide substantial benefits to Mesos.
> Most notably, the lack of lambda support has resulted in a proliferation of continuation style functions scattered throughout the code. Having lambdas will allow us to reduce this clutter and simplify the code.
> This will require carefully documenting how to get Mesos compiling on various systems to make this transition easy.
