Currently there is the problem with dropped support for old C++ compilers which may not affect us directly but more over the introduction of new C++0x code. For details see http://groups.google.com/group/scintilla-interest/browse_thread/thread/8f9c4.... Though Scintilla's release notes state that the Borland C++ support was removed, I'm not sure if the new C++0x code is already in. Nick, Lex, do you know more about the current status?
Good question, thanks Enrico for asking it :) Actually there is another patch that was applied to upstream Sinctilla I would like to see in our copy (related to Vala highlighting), so I wondered if we didn't wanted to update our scintilla copy at some point... but there is the C++0x thing.
Well Scintilla 2.25 does not use the std=c++0x option and it does use -Wall which includes a c++0x warning so I would say its reasonably safe.
Yes, and I'd expect Neil to mention it in the release notes if the requirements change. Now that C++0x has been finalised as C++ 2011 this might encourage him :-/
Ok, then we could update our Scintilla copy soon, either with the current release and patch Matthew's patches in or wait for the next release which includes the patches.
Regards, Enrico
