[cmake-developers] Portable STD_CXX11 target property?

[Stephen Kelly]

Hi there,

Given that std::list in libstdc++ is not binary compatible between C++98 and 
C++11, I'm wondering if we can have a STD_CXX11 property to set whether 
C++11 should be used. Equivalent STD_CXX98 could also be provided perhaps.

I have pushed a std-cxx-target-property branch to my gitorious repo to 
illustrate the idea further, but I don't think there is any way to specify 
which c++ standard to restrict to with MSVC, so the idea may already be 
useless or dead in the water.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Steve.
