Yes. > 2- What is the cost in terms of build time? I was trying to measure but --enable-build-with-cxx is broken at the moment. > 3- What coding guidelines should we use? > 4- Should we make the switch during the 4.6 stage 1? Number 3 is irrelevant for the moment. We definitely need to switch to --enable-build-with-cxx by default during stage 1, otherwise we should postpone the conversion to 4.7. Thus, we need volunteers to do that, not to bikeshed on #3 ;) Richard.
