Subject: Re: Switching to Visual Studio 2013
I would like us to update the minimum supported MSVC version to 2012 as
soon as possible. That will give us access to the following C++
features which are all supported on gcc 4.4 (aka our Vintage Compiler)
and MSVC starting from 2012:
* Variadic templates
* Strongly typed enums
* Initializer lists
* The ability to use decltype for non-trivial things (MSVC2010's
decltype support is pretty buggy)
As well as the C++11 <atomic> subsystem, which did not appear until MSVC2012:

We cannot use most new library features due to the lack of support in
stlport which we use on b2g.
