+CMake requires compiling as C++11 or above. However, in order to support
+building on older toolchains some constructs need to be handled with care:
-* Use ``CM_AUTO_PTR`` instead of ``std::auto_ptr``.
+* Do not use ``CM_AUTO_PTR`` or ``std::auto_ptr``.
- The ``std::auto_ptr`` template is deprecated in C++11. We want to use it
- so we can build on C++98 compilers but we do not want to turn off compiler
- warnings about deprecated interfaces in general. Use the ``CM_AUTO_PTR``
- macro instead.
+ The ``std::auto_ptr`` template is deprecated in C++11. The ``CM_AUTO_PTR``
+ macro remains leftover from C++98 support until its uses can be ported to
+ ``std::unique_ptr``. Do not add new uses of the macro.
* Use ``CM_EQ_DELETE;`` instead of ``= delete;``.
- Defining functions as *deleted* is not supported in C++98. Using
+ Older C++11 compilers do not support deleting functions. Using
``CM_EQ_DELETE`` will delete the functions if the compiler supports it and
give them no implementation otherwise. Calling such a function will lead
to compiler errors if the compiler supports *deleted* functions and linker
