VS 2013 Preview

Well, the biggest thing would be C++11 standard support...
I guess if you're looking for that. To me it doesn't matter.

Well, the biggest thing about the new standard is that it includes standard threads... that's really big IMO.

That's cool, if you're writing C++. Since I'm writing C# for desktop and Web apps, it's non-sequitur to me. :)

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Even while moving Windows every year may seems like a good idea, doing the same with Visual Studio, SQL Server and Windows Server (And any business grade software) may not be the best, given that business user tend to lag waiting for the .1 release. Anyway, i'll probably stick with Visual Studio 2012 unless I really need to move or it supports overloaded constructors in C++.

According to my knowledge it means "driving pleasure", but I'm pretty sure you knew that. I believe there's a story I haven't heard hidden in that sentence.

After tweaking (NiceVS etc.) the VS2012 installations I use look passibly like VS2010. No doubt VS2013 will get the same treatment. In this release C++ 11 is the only thing I'm really interested in, anyway (nearly 2 years after the standard was released!). I wonder how long we'll have to wait for C++ 14 support once it is finalised?

Looking at the new C++ features[^] in VS2013, their STL has some C++14 features...
Support for these C++14 features:
- "Transparent operator functors"
less<>,greater<>,plus<>,multiplies<>, and so on. make_unique<T>(args...)andmake_unique<T[]>(n)cbegin()/cend(),rbegin()/rend(), andcrbegin()/crend()non-member functions.
Nothing earth shattering, just those bits of C++14 that really should have been in C++11...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p CodeProject MVP for 2010 - who'd'a thunk it!

I'd hardly call the VS2013 C++ compiler representative of the C++ standard - I don't believe it's even C++ 11 feature complete yet! The plan is that C++ 14 is a minor revision to the standard - stuff that didn't make it into C++ 11, really. The next set of major changes (modules etc.) should be in C++ 17. Bjarne Stroustup gave a keynote about C++ 11 at ACCU this April[^]. At the same conference he also gave a follow-up session on C++ 14[^] during which he also talked a bit about the likely contents of C++ 17 (although that part was informal and not detailed in the slides besides mention of things such as Compile-time reflection, Task-based concurrency, Modules and Concepts). FWIW std::make_unique<> is actually more important than it appears, as it provides the last bit of the puzzle needed to avoid new/delete entirely in C++ code (APIs permitting).

I've only just started using any C++ 11 recently, in the form of VS2010 (those rvalue references have already proven to be handy - noncopyable classes wrapping OS resources, for example), but I've kept up to date with C++11 features, mostly through Herb Sutter's blog - he covered the whole subject of smart pointers quite nicely, including
make_unique[^]. I think of the C++11 features that Visual Studio doesn't have, support for defaulted and deleted methods is the part I'd most want...Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p CodeProject MVP for 2010 - who'd'a thunk it!

C++ 11 r-value references are astonishingly useful - we attended a keynote with Scott Meyers last year and it was quite frankly jaw dropping how much of a difference using them they can make to performance with very little effort. None of this stuff was on our radar at all until we started going to the ACCU Conference every year. It has quite literally transformed the way we do things (plus, we get to meet cool people like Bjarne).
