Description

As discussed in THRIFT-4678,now that we may want to drop C++03 support.

I will take the following steps:

1.force C++11 compilers in CMake.But I am not familiar with GNU autotools,would anybody help me changing that piece of script?

2.remove deprecated features in C++11 from run-time library and compiler generated code.

3.replace boost components with C++11 counterparts gradually.

 

This issue is created for some advises for the above steps.
