Got it. BTW, do you have plan to support for higher version GCC? Such as GCC8?
Well, I am not speaking for the project as a whole, but past experience seems to indicate that support for newer toolchain is added by contributors (which, really, can be anyone) on an ad hoc basis, when the need is identified and/or a new toolchain becomes popular, as well as *if* the definitions from the current toolchain (such as GCC5) do not work well enough to support the later versions.
So I don't think there are official plans with regards to adding such an such toolchain (such as GCC8 or VS2019) apart from waiting for contributors, who might have a vested interest in those, to provide patches where needed. For most Open Source projects, this usually happen organically, without any specific timeline, as each toolchain becomes more widespread.
