The command line option --cpp17 has been added to the avrogencpp command. The option is used when avrogencpp has been built in an environment where the features of C++17 are not enabled by default but project using avrogencpp employs a compiler option to turn those features on. In such cases the project will want the code emitted by avrogencpp to also use c++17. The particular part of C++17 that used by avrogencpp is the any class. In C++17 we can use std::any, otherwise boost::any is used. There is a significant advantage to using std::any if it is available since it has the small buffer optimisation (SBO), which boost does not. In RHEL 8 gcc 8.5.0 does not use C++17 by default and avro-cpp, also in the Red Hat repo, must have been built using it since it emits code that uses boost::any. This option enables avrogencpp in RHEL distros to emit code that uses C++17. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
