Let me put up a a suggestion for min. req. for coming GRASS GIS 8 as a starting point of discussion:<br>
- Python 3.7<br>
- C11<br>
- C++11<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Given that first release of Python 3.7 was in 2018-06-27, won't any system with Python 3.7 also have a compiler capable of handling C and C++ higher than C11/C++11? For example, if I'm reading Repology correctly, Debian Stable has Python 3.7 [1] and GCC 8 [2] which has at least some C17 support, C++17 support, and definitely C++14 support [3].</div><div><br></div><div>Similarly to the GDAL and PROJ issue where I don't think it is necessary to have GRASS C89/C++98 compliant when you need C++11 for GDAL anyway. Here, I think that either the C and C++ versions are unnecessary low or the Python version is too high if Debian Stable is a representative sample. </div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://repology.org/project/python/packages">https://repology.org/project/python/packages</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://repology.org/project/gcc/packages">https://repology.org/project/gcc/packages</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.2.0/gcc/Standards.html#C-Language">https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.2.0/gcc/Standards.html#C-Language</a></div></div></div>
