Will ImHex use C++23 features that are only going to be available in GCC 13? #884
|
GCC 13 is bringing a few new C++20 features like std::format and some really useful functions from C++23, so I'm wondering if ImHex is going to switch to these as soon as they're available. However, this will also mean incompat with GCC 12 and below. Clipboard is in a very similar situation, so I'm wondering what other projects are doing regarding this. |

Absolutely! As soon as GCC 13 is available in some way on all the distros and systems we're targeting, I will start to switch everything over. |

I noticed that in the Minimal Requirements section, there's Ubuntu 22.04 which lags behind the new compiler releases. Does this mean the GCC 13 switch is going to take some time so that Ubuntu is compatible? |

As of right now, the regular gcc release that ships with Ubuntu is like gcc 9 I think? But there's a second package, |

The vast majority of people won't need to compile imHex themselves anyways since we build nightly releases with every commit
