Visual Studio C++ 2012 is adding variadic templates

Visual Studio C++ 2012 is adding variadic templates
and initializer lists to Visual Studio 2012.

Looks like MS is trying to stay up to speed.

Gosh, that was fast.

I mean, we only started to ramble about VC's (non-)support of variadic
templates six days ago ...

I think that they knew that they were behind
but it is hard to tell what MS thinks. To me,
MS is very fragmented.

Great, but way lags behind g++. All in all we can get g++ from svn
repository and get new features immediately...

Yes, but if you're writing software which is supposed to work
reliably, that's really of little use. Although it allow you to toy
with and learn new features early.

Is it? Actually, g++ is here also used for production code - not on the
windows platform, though.

Well this is short introspection of new features from gcc 4.8
It is pretty reliable, I think...

#include <iostream>
#include <mutex>
#include <thread>

class A{
public:
A(int i):i(i){}
alignas(double) int i;
};

class alignas(16) Bublic A{
public:
B():B(42){}
using A::A;
};

void f(int i)
{
static thread_local B b(i);
static std::mutex m;
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> g(m);
std::cout<<b.i<<'\n';
}

int main()
{
std::thread a(f,1);
std::thread b(f,2);
a.join();
b.join();
}

bmaxa@maxa:~/examples$ g++-trunk -std=c++11 -pthread inherit.cpp -o inherit

bmaxa@maxa:~/examples$ ./inherit

I'm guessing it's the "from svn repository" bit that was being referred
to here.

Yes, that's what I meant. I can't remember the last time I compiled
with anything /but/ gcc! But it's typically a gcc version which is
a few years old: 3.4, 4.1, 4.4 ...
