Try to require C++14. Now that we've dropped MSVC 2015, I believe we can rely on C++14 (which is now seven years old). This switches the build to require C++14. I've gone ahead and switched code in both public headers and within the library, but if the public headers are a problem, we can revert those separately. C++14 doesn't get us quite as much as C++17, but see if we can get to C++14 first. Still, std::enable_if_t and the less restricted constexpr are nice wins. Update-Note: C++14 is now required to build BoringSSL. If the build breaks, make sure your compiler is C++14-capable and is not passing -std=c++11. If this is causing problems for your project, let us know.

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
