What's the stance on using C++11 features in the dmd source code in
the future?
Well, how many C++11 features does DMC support?
*sigh*
Totally forgot about that. Can't we finally get rid of that crappy
toolchain :'(
btw, wasn't there a patch to make dmd compile with VisualStudio cl?
Visual Studio support of C++11 is pretty weak (or maybe more accurately
'spotty') in VS2010, and this will be virtually unchanged in the next
version. On the plus side what is there (rvalue references, auto) is
nice to have. On the downside what is missing is really sad (varaidic
templates, range for, the full set of C++11 type traits, the new unicode
string types and literals, initializer lists, and a few others I can't
remember easily)
It has lambdas. That's already a HUGE plus, imo more important than most
other features.
