I have suggested a refactoring pass to make more use of STL structures
instead of fixed size, unchecked arrays. Some security problem would be
caught by array bounds checking.
We have some new volunteers over on the recruitment mailing list. I
think refactoring would be a good project for getting people involved.
Even if we can't go all the way to C++11, we can make some progress
towards the 21st century.

I meant that I think that some of the functionality which we have implemented
in helper functions in the past can be retired by using modern c++11 and later
standards.
The code will be smaller,and according to Bjarne Stroustrup also faster.
I also would like to limit if not ban usage of C code. It makes
tmaintainability more difficult, and I do not see the benefit. Honestly even
less then the Java stuff.
I also don't like helper structures. It is a sign for weak architecture in my
eyes. (But that's naming and structuring of code)
With our small team, I would opt always for less codelines if possible. Limit
is only readability.
I would like to know if there is support from others to remove those whenever
possible with c++11 Or later code? Or what strategy do we want to head out for.
I have soon more little time. And then I want to do some stuff. Sadly I will do
less then I want to, but I hope it will go fine.
All the best.

There is a lot of code I think we don't need the modern
implementation should provide us similar functionality.
What do you mean with "modern implementation". Should newer libaries
and
frameworks we use nowadays provide this support?
Is it okay if we target to get rid of such old Code?
Btw. There is a code for a workaround of a bug from gcc version 3.
Can we retire that Code?
Version 3 started in early 2000. A quick search in our Wiki [1] found
only some hits and these are - surprise - very old. But I don't think
that these are relevant any more.
I cannot lookup what the configure script is tell you as minimal
version
of gcc. But I would bet it's far away from 3.
