Re: gtkmm and C++0x

[Fabien Parent <parent f gmail com>]

Hi,
It would be great to see gtkmm start using some c++0x features. I
think the best would be to keep compatibility with c++ 98 like boost
did.

We can find if the user is using c++98 or c++0x by looking if the
macro __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ has been defined by the gcc's
preprocessor.

For example:
#if defined(__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__)
// c++0x
#else
// c++98
#endif
