If we're assuming that Ruby itself targets `C99`, does this mean that dropping `GCC6` would allow us to relax the testing requirement for `C++98`? 6.0 is the last version that defaults to `C++98` according to [this documentation](https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx98)
I think dropping gcc 6 and dropping C++98 are different things. ---------------------------------------- Misc #19353: Drop gcc <= 6 and clang <= 9 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19353#change-101553 * Author: shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- We test those old compilers using Ubuntu bionic. This OS is reaching its EOL. Making them available would become harder. I would like to drop supporting them. Any opinions? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
