Yesterday I upgraded to the latest VS community 2017 (the previous one was installed last year) and wanted to check the c++ standard, so I run a code that checks it (picture attached) and as it turnes out, I have c++98 (!!), I don't understand why I don't have the latest c++ standard?

  • @toohonestforthissite Ideally the fact that you had to type up a custom close reason when you found that none of the predefined close reasons applied would have been a hint to you to check what is and is not topical here. This question is perfectly acceptable. It is well-known that Visual Studio is not stuck in 1998, so asking what's wrong when a program suggests otherwise is fine. If Visual Studio were stuck in 1998, then I might agree that a question on why it is would be better asked elsewhere.

The value of __cplusplus is temporarily intentionally non-conformant by default for current versions of Visual Studio in order to avoid breaking existing code. It does not mean your compiler does not support any C++11 (or newer) features.



Quoting from MSVC now correctly reports __cplusplus:




/Zc:__cplusplus



You need to compile with the /Zc:__cplusplus switch to see the updated value of the __cplusplus macro. We tried updating the macro by default and discovered that a lot of code doesn’t compile correctly when we change the value of __cplusplus. We’ll continue to require use of the /Zc:__cplusplus switch for all minor versions of MSVC in the 19.xx family.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
