We should select a C++ std too

C++ 11/14/17 ... 👍

The only hinderance is upstream compatibility (older linux distributions).

But that should not stop us in my opinion.

[FiloSpaTeam]

No, certainly.
We can always use preprocessor definitions to support something. But i think some standards are important too nowdays 😀

I ve seen in .pro thst we support c+11 so we can use this one i think?

[jounathaen]

I guess c++11 is widely supported.
This discussion lists the common Linux distros which have c++11 support: icecc/icecream#353 and that's representing almost every available Linux Distro.
I guess on Win and Mac there is also c++11 widespread.

As far as I heard of, c++14 was not such a big thing, so I think it is not a necessary dependency. (Haven't used these features myself).

My suggestion: C++11 and closing this issue :-D

Check out #425 for some semi-automated cleanup . .

This will probably break on some older linux distro's . .
