Survey: Require gcc 4.8 to build?

[Jeff Kaufman]

If ngx_pagespeed required GCC 4.8, and we included "how to install 4.8
in parallel with your existing gcc if you don't have it already" in
our build instructions, how much trouble would this be?

We're trying to figure out how to handle dependencies that use C++ features.

Nice! For me absolutely no trouble. And most of my servers run Debian Stable, Jessie, which comes with GCC 4.9.2 already.

could be problematic for alot of CentOS 6.x folks as they're still on GCC 4.4.7 

for me on CentOS 6 and 7 thought my nginx source compiles with ngx_pagespeed use clang 3.4.x instead though 

so how would that affect me if you require GCC 4.8 ?

The plan for CentOS was to give instructions on getting a totally separate GCC-4.8.x install (e.g. not touching the main gcc install) from Scientific Linux repos. How do you feel about that? As for clang-3.4.x: the compiler is certainly good enough, but there may be issues with using a new-gcc compiled libpsol.a with an older gcc-provided system libstdc++, though building both libpsol.a and ngx_pagespeed at user end with clang and libc++ ought to work (except I am not sure to which extent libc++ works on Linux --- will need to check)... Thanks for letting us know that there is interest in using that.
