GNU++14 (GCC extension) - Extension of the GCC compiler that implements C++14 with additional features specific to GCC. But it seems that upstream will know whats best. Anyway, this is a good topic to discuss because it must be a lot of failing builds because of c++17 being default on clang 16. I have another case in hands about a dependency 'graphics/libemf' (3 years old release) blocking a port of "mine", 'graphics/pstoedit'. It was easy to just use std c++14 to fix it. I'm afraid of being so easy method to fix things :) Tomorrow I will open an PR at upstream to check their opinion. Cheers,
