C++11/14 Core Language Features in VS 2013 and the Nov 2013 CTP

Although we’ve listed the C++11 Core Language features available in VS 2013 and the C++11/14 Core Language features available in the Nov 2013 CTP, I haven’t published a table on VCBlog. (Previous tables: VS 2008 and VS 2010, VS 2012.) MSDN updated their table for VS 2013, but it doesn’t cover the CTP.

 

So, for your convenience, here’s a table. As I stressed in Core C++, Part 10, the CTP is an alpha build. You should expect its features to be available (and significantly improved) in the next major version of VS, barring catastrophe (like the features being voted out of the C++14 Working Paper). However, you should not expect these features to be released in an Update for VS 2013 RTM.
