meta: bump minimal supported GCC version to 5 #25683
Conversation
V8 is going to require full support for C++14.
@nodejs/platform-smartos what should we do about the note in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#supported-platforms-1 ? |
Refs: nodejs/build#1543 If we are planning a compiler bump, I'd rather we go with the latest stable version available (GCC 8.2 or LLVM/CLang 7) |
+1 on this as long as @nodejs/build signs off that we can actually make that compiler version available on all the arch / os / distro combinations. |
Seems like note is outdated - #25684 |
+1 from me too if it's doable |
FWIW Ubuntu 16.04, which is still supported by Canonical into 2021 only has GCC 5.4.0 in its official repositories. Even Ubuntu 18.04 only ships with GCC 7.3.0. |
I agree that we should factor in what comes by "default" in the distros, we also need to understand the impacts in terms of libc. I'm also thinking we might want to give ourselves more runway to get all of the compilers in place and plan the bump to be post Node.js 12.X |

I don't actually know if there is a version 5.1.0. Happy to put another higher number.
