Re: RFC: JEP JDK-8208089: Implement C++14 Language Features
Hi Tim, Jeff, Kim has assembled a quite detailed list of new C++ features intended for use in HotSpot/OpenJDK (with links to the corresponding C++ standard) https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8208089 Could you please provide a summary of which of these features are already available since which version of xlC for AIX and potentially escalate the implementation of the missing features within IBM’s xlC on AIX team.

I've submitted a JEP for
(1) enabling the use of C++14 Language Features when building the JDK,
(2) define a process for deciding and documenting which new features can be used or are forbidden in HotSpot code,
(3) provide an initial list of permitted and forbidden new features.

Note that this list is intended as a starting point. The JEP also describes a process for adding to the list of permitted features, and I anticipate that process will be used. There are several that I personally think would be good to add (perhaps with some limits or restrictions), but that I think may involve more detailed discussion. And other folks may have their favorite must have feature(s) that didn’t seem to me to be needed in this initial seed list.
