No, not really. It's strange that a compiler from 2010 does *not* support enough features of the standard that was then known as C++0x. The standard had been in development for years, so the compiler authors were completely aware of changes coming. GCC started adding C++0x features in version 4.3. Version 4.5 was released in 2010 and had a lot features, though by no means complete. By 2012, with the 4.7 release, it was almost feature-complete. And yet, when we discussed what C++11 features we'll allow in Qt 5.7, we came to the conclusion that MSVC 2012 is the lowest common denominator. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
