Announcing the Visual C++ Compiler November 2013 CTP
Visual Studio 2013 has only been released very recently, and the Visual C++ team already has a new CTP out with new features 🙂
The following table gives an overview and even includes features that are planned for future releases.
- Implicit move special member function generation (thus also completing =default)
- Reference qualifiers on member functions (a.k.a. “& and && for *this”)
- Thread-safe function local static initialization (a.k.a. “magic statics”)
- Inheriting constructors
- alignof/alignas
- __func__
- Extended sizeof
- constexpr (except for constructors)
- noexcept (unconditional)
- C++14 decltype(auto)
- C++14 auto function return type deduction
- C++14 generic lambdas (with explicit lambda capture list)
- (Proposed for C++17) Resumable functions and await
Remember, this is a CTP so it does not come with a Go Live license.
More details can be found on the VCBlog.
