Forgot a "let",

function! Compile()
    :let cmd_string = "g++ -std=c++11 " . expand("%") . " &> " . expand("%:r") 
. ".log"
    :execute "silent !" . cmd_string
endfunction

But the problem still remains. I must have tried every possible combination of 
"\", "'", '"', shellescape() on the  &> term.
