From b869d4463ef38934da35ffaf287870541e0dee47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Pinchart Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2020 17:19:31 +0300 Subject: meson: Switch to C++17 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Due to popular request, move from C++14 to C++17.
