[cfe-dev] RFC: A proposal to move toward using C++11 features in LLVM & Clang / bounding support for old host compilers

[Yaron Keren]

Here is a table detailing C++11 features support for Visual C++ 2010, 2012,
2013

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh567368.aspx

Specifically, range-based for loops are supported in Visual C++ 2012, 2013
but not in 2010.
