Parts of C++11 already landed as far back as gcc-4.3:
    https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx11

So, to have full C++11 support, on eeds gcc-4.8 or later, but for some
subsets of C++11, older versions may still be suitable.

But the C++98 standard was the default one until gcc-6.1, which switched
directly over to C++14 as the default. That's why the C++11 standard has
to be explicitly requested.

However, -std=c++11 is only recognised from gcc-4.7 onward; older
versions only knew about -std=c++0x. So if this would also work for
gcc <= 4.6, we 'd have to use =std=c++0x (which is still recognised up
to gcc-9.x).

Yann E. MORIN.
