Missing <string_view> for that build ? odd

[mattgodbolt]

This is with GCC 5; so I guess we no longer support that

[mattgodbolt]

We only use <string_view> in one place, so we should probably remove that dependency...

That said we do:

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

and that apparently passed OK in GCC 5, so I don't know how it thinks it's c++17 capable without string_view

[mattgodbolt]

C++17 features are available since GCC 5. This mode is the default in GCC 11; it can be explicitly selected with the -std=c++17 command-line flag, or -std=gnu++17 to enable GNU extensions as well.

https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11 - so apparently them's the breaks. Argh. Will try a workaround.

[offa]

If it's only the string_view – rarely used at the moment – we can get away with it. But according to cppreference compiler support most of C++17 features are shipped by GCC 7 (incl. string_view).

So we might end in a situation where we use C++17, except most of it's features 😆 .

[offa]

We use inline variables too.

[mattgodbolt]

Got it. I found out how we can deny older versions in conan; so that's a route too

[offa]

So we can either support GCC < 7 (= C++14) or require GCC >= 7 (C++17).

Personally I'd prefer C++17 – almost the last but two standard – but I do not have a strong opinion here.

[mattgodbolt]

I guess, de facto our users must be GCC >= 7 here

[offa]

Can we close #175 and #176 then?

[mattgodbolt]

I guess so!
