<Li> Some versions of Visual C++ supported Itanium 2 </Li> <Li> Visual C++ 2010 (also known as Visual C++ 10.0) was released on April 12, 2010 . It uses a SQL Server Compact database to store information about the source code, including IntelliSense information, for better IntelliSense and code - completion support . However, Visual C++ 2010 does not support Intellisense for C++ / CLI . This version adds a C++ parallel computing library called the Parallel Patterns Library, partial support for C + + 11, significantly improved IntelliSense based on the Edison Design Group front end, and performance improvements to both the compiler and generated code . This version is built on . NET 4.0, but supports compiling to machine code . The partial C + + 11 support mainly consists of six compiler features: lambdas, rvalue references, auto, decltype, static_assert, and nullptr. C + + 11 also supports library features (e.g., moving the TR1 components from std:: tr1 namespace directly to std namespace). Variadic templates were also considered, but delayed until some future version due to having a lower priority, which stemmed from the fact that, unlike other costly - to - implement features (lambda, rvalue references), variadic templates would benefit only a minority of library writers rather than the majority of compiler end users . By default, all applications compiled against Visual C++ 2010 Runtimes only work on Windows XP SP2 and later . The RTM version (16.00. 30319) is also available in Windows SDK for Windows 7 and . NET Framework 4 (WinSDK v7. 1). SP1 version (16.00. 40219) is available as part of Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 or through the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1 . </Li> <Li> Visual C++ 2012 (also known as Visual C++ 11.0) was released on August 15, 2012 . It features improved C + + 11 support, and support for Windows Runtime development . </Li> <Li> Visual C++ 2013 (also known as Visual C++ 12.0) was released on October 17, 2013 . It features further C + + 11 and C99 support, and introduces a REST SDK . </Li>
