V8 is going to require full support for C++14.

/cc @hashseed @nodejs/v8 @nodejs/build

I don't actually know if there is a version 5.1.0. Happy to put another higher number.

@nodejs/platform-smartos what should we do about the note in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#supported-platforms-1 ?

If we are planning a compiler bump, I'd rather we go with the latest stable version available (GCC 8.2 or LLVM/CLang 7)

+1 on this as long as @nodejs/build signs off that we can actually make that compiler version available on all the arch / os / distro combinations.

FWIW Ubuntu 16.04, which is still supported by Canonical into 2021 only has GCC 5.4.0 in its official repositories. Even Ubuntu 18.04 only ships with GCC 7.3.0.

I agree that we should factor in what comes by "default" in the distros, we also need to understand the impacts in terms of libc. I'm also thinking we might want to give ourselves more runway to get all of the compilers in place and plan the bump to be post Node.js 12.X

What's the status quo here? I guess we have to bump this for v12?

For 12 #26714 takes card of BUILDING.md and I raised #26719 for the configure changes (sorry @targos, didn't realise this one was open and had you pointed it out when you reviewed #26719 I'd have been happy to close it in favour of updates to this one).

The src/node_file.h change isn't covered elsewhere AFAICT.
