Some things that will be interesting to use once C++20 is common:
| Feature | Since | Can use? | GCC | Apple Clang | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
std::span |
C++20 | from 1.4 | 10 | 11.0.3 | Handle buffers like standard library containers without risk of overflow. |
std::format |
C++20 | not yet | 13 | 15.3 | Better and more efficient formatting of strings. Text Formatting |
std::lerp |
C++20 | from 1.4 | 9 | 11.0.3 | Linear interpolation. (ui/tools/pencil-tool.cpp) |
std::bit_floor |
C++20 | from 1.4 | 9/10 | 11.0.3/13.0.0 | Compute floor(log2(x)). (helper/mathfns.h) |
Concepts |
C++20 | from 1.4? | 6/10 | 12.0.0 Partial | Safer templating. (ui/controller.h) |
Coroutines |
C++20 | not yet | 10 | 10.0.1 Partial, 15.3 Full |
Simpler asynchronous code. (trace/trace.cpp) |
std::make_unique_for_overwrite
|
C++20 | not yet | 11 | 15.0.0 | Don't zero arrays allocated using std::make_unique. (util/pool.cpp) |
Ranges |
C++20 | not yet | ? | for (init; decl : expr). (ui/dialog/swatches.cpp) | |
Structural templates
|
C++20 | from 1.4? | Partial | Allow instances of arbitrary literal classes as template parameters. (display/drawing.cpp) | |
Mathematical Constants
|
C++20 | 10 | 12.0.5 | Constants like std::numbers::pi. |

As of 27 March 2024, the CI runners for the various supported platforms are
- Linux:
- appimage:linux: GNU 13.2.0 (building on Ubuntu 23.10)
- inkscape:linux: Same as above
- Windows
- inkscape:windows:build: GNU 13.2.0
- inkscape:windows:dist: Same as above
- macOS:
- inkscape::macos:arm: Apple Clang 15.0.0
- inkscape:macos:x64: Apple Clang 13.0.0 (temporarily disabled since GTK4 port)
We strive to support latest Debian stable and latest Ubuntu LTS. However, we had to break that promise since the GTK4 port, which requires gtkmm4 >= 4.14:
| Distro | gcc | clang | gtkmm4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debian 12 (Bookworm, stable) | 12.2.0 | 15.0.6 | 4.8.3 |
| Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) | 12.3.0 | 15.0.7 | Not packaged! |
| Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar) | 13.1.0 | 16.0.0 | 4.10.1 |
| Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) | 13.2.0 | 18.1.0 | 4.10.1 (???) |
Ubuntu users therefore have the following options:
- Wait for Ubuntu 24.04, expected around 25 April 2024.
- Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 now.
- Upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 and build gtkmm4 from source, as is currently done by CI.
- ???
Deprecated items that we still use:
- warning: implicit capture of ‘this’ via ‘[=]’ is deprecated in C++20 [-Wdeprecated] https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p0806r2.html
- warning: bitwise operation between different enumeration types ‘Box3D::Axis’ and ‘Box3D::FrontOrRear’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-enum-enum-conversion]
