Hi C++ enthusiasts!

It’s a new year, so let’s try a new approach in getting LLVM’s codebase past C++11. Instead of discussing toolchain versions and whether C++14 or 17 is best, let’s just focus on one baby step: agreeing on a policy. This policy will be used to update our toolchain, hopefully warning people in LLVM 8 and actually moving past C++11 for LLVM 9.

I recall similar discussions about updating the required CMake version.

Should something be said about build requirements other than the compiler, or is that out of scope?

Thanks,

Stephen.
