+# Modern C++ features
+
+We define here as "modern C++" features the ones introduced since C++11. These features should be used in a "controlled" form in Firebird code, as not all compilers fully support them.
+
+Only ones mentioned in this document could be used, but as necessities appears, discussion should be started in the devel list.
+
+## Allowed features
+
+### C++11
