It works with gcc >= 4.9.0 and clang (with libc++ or gcc libstdc++ from gcc
>= 4.9.0). The MSVC parg is missing, because I cannot test it, and the
autotools build still link against boost::regex even if it is not needed, but
I don't know how to fix that.
As discussed on the list. We don't need it anymore, either we have a modern
compiler that supports C++11, or we fall back to boost. I kept and adjusted
the regex #define, since we cannot use std regex completely yet.
If we compile in C++11 mode, do not use the boost replacements for bind,
functional and shared_ptr. regex is excluded, since it misses match_partial, and
gcc does not provide a usable one in versions less than 4.9.0.
I also removed the #define for match_partial, since this is dangerous. Now you
get a compile error instead of subtle runtime differences.
The interface is now 100% unit tested, and the typedefs depend on the new
STD_STRING_USES_COW configuration variable. The only missing bit is to detect
clang and disable STD_STRING_USES_COW for clang.
1.) The only file which needs this define is src/version.cpp. Our use in config.h
resulted in recompiling most of our sources.
With this change, only version.cpp needs to be recompiled.
2.) Without reconfiguring, the old commit hash was still valid. Now the
detection of commit hash is done at compile time.
The configuration time suffers mostly on checking, which of the export tests
is to be reverted.
1.) There is a new configuration flag now, "LYX_ENABLE_EXOPRT_TESTS.
If not set (default) no export tests are created.
2.) If set, then the optimization halves the time needed for creation of tests.
The effect on my side:
a.) Until now the time was: ~ 26 seconds
b.) The optimized time is now: ~ 16 seconds
c.) With not enabled export tests: ~ 5 seconds
In collaboration with Scott Kostyshak:
With Qt 4 we could use Q_WS_X11, defined by FindQt4.cmake. In Qt 5,
there is no FindQt5.cmake. Instead we now define our own variable,
QT_USES_X11 by using class QX11Info available only on X11.
(http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/QX11Info.html)
The main consequence of this improved support is that now the keytests
can be run (ctest -R "keytest") when LyX is compiled with Qt 5.
Before, with Qt 5 we did not know if X11 was available, which is
needed by xvkbd, so the tests were not enabled. Note, however, that
many tests fail with Qt version 5.2.1 because there was a change in
the event handling mechanism in Qt that causes xvkbd to be unable to
pass capital letters (so case sensitive greps in the tests fail). This
needs to be investigated and reported.
