New mongo-cxx-driver and Visual Studio

[Teanan]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the new c++11 driver with Visual Studio (2013) but without success.

It seems that VS doesn't support enough cpp11 features (even with the 'Nov 2013 CTP' patch)

I've managed to fix some errors (with inline namespaces or constexpr) but I don't understand most of it :/

The next version (2015) should support it but it's too experimental for now (and it would break all my other dependencies)

Are there any plan to support this version of VS ?

Thanks.

Hi -

Unfortunately, we have no plans to support VS2013 and would not accept patches aiming to do so. We do intend to support VS2015, which Microsoft has apparently stated is shipping in May. Once VS2015 arrives, we will begin the work to add support.

We would have liked to support VS2013, but the gymnastics required to conform with its limited/broken C++11 support conflicted with the overall goals of the project.

Thanks,

Andrew
