Hi,
apologies for not responding at the time of the original posting! The project is definitely being supported, it's just had somewhat of a dormant period :-)
I had a look at your patch at the time and obviously it's a bit painful to pull out the non-autotools changes. Might be worth breaking it into two patches: one for the autotools upgrade and one for the actual move to C++11. It does seem like a good point to batch together C++11 improvements, so if anyone else has some patches, please submit!
Does anyone have an opinion on using a standard macro check for C++11, rather than testing for individual features:
Also, is it possible to receive benchmark output for each change, just to confirm that the alteration does actually improve performance.
Cheers,
Donovan.
