I have actually tried.
I picked V8 version from stable Chromium versions and tried to compile. V8
5.6 compiled (at least, to some extent, I was interested only to compiling
V8 DLLs itself, ICU DLLs and D8 executable - and all this actually
compiles).
V8 5.7 and 5.8 failed to compile with VS2013. I did not try to dig deeply
into source code why, but looks like VC2013 lacks some support for
constexpr inside class, because it failed on the
class .... {
....
constexpr bool ..... ; // <<< FAILED HERE
