that is fine with me.

Then please fix your real problems and don't send patches that actively
break libev and claim it would be unusable without them?

That is the single case where we indeed rely on the next c++ standard,
and g++ (and most other compilers) support it, so this is your problem to
deal with. I won't change correct code because you think you have to use
compiler switches that are not recommended by the compiler vendor.

Please read the libev documentation regarding this first.

That's a problem with your compiler (more specifically your settings) -
the code is valid C++.

If that is indeed a real problem for you, then you are the only one who
cna fix it, as the problem is outside of libev's code.

That is not part of libev. Since ev++.h works with a lot of toher
packages, this is most likely a bug in your program - see for example
rxvt-unicode for actual uses of ev++.h that are correct.

(If you disagree, please give a small example program, so far, you just
made a lot of claims without bringing any evidence that there is a problem
in libev, but proof that there is a problem with your set up).
