We are in the process to prepare initial GCC 7 packages for Factory (without yet switching the default build compiler). There is a staging set up switching the default build compiler to GCC 7 at openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7. There are still numerous build failures due to (in)valid C++ code being rejected more pedantically or new warnings tripping over -Werror used in package builds. So this is a first heads-up for you in case you want to check the status of your package (or you received a bugzilla saying it won't build with GCC 7).
I tried one of my packages and I get a lot of warnings like this
warning: dynamic exception specifications are deprecated in C++11; use 'noexcept' instead
I found what it's about and I understand the reasoning. But IMHO it's very confusing - and even misleading - that gcc7 adds the "use 'noexcept' instead" part even for declarations with non-empty exception list, e.g.
explicit StatusVector(const IStatus* s) throw(Firebird::BadAlloc);
shouldn't the compiler suggest 'noexcept' only for "throw()" and suggest omitting the throw declaration for non-empty list instead?
I agree. I filed https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79400
to track this and/or get clarification.
Thanks,
Richard.
