Perhaps this is something the current build scripts take care of anyway.

Vince CSV parser (RFC4180 + flavours) https://github.com/vincentlaucsb/csv-parser C++11 header only (MT can be turned on/off). https://github.com/ben-strasser/fast-cpp-csv-parser If not, Is there is something else that is needed for the CSV parsers to qualify ? Thanks for sharing your perspective. Much appreciated ! warm regards Saifi.
