Add support to compile with VS2013? about sqlpp11 HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Praveen,

As discussed in issue 34 (#34), not even the CTP6 of MSVC-2015 has sufficient C++11 support. Back in August 2014, the current build of MSVC still had troubles with static_assert (this did not compile then: https://gist.github.com/rbock/b573ee3d024902998e3e).

I see no (reasonable) way to replace these things with boost equivalents. And quite frankly, even if I did, I would not want to do it. I'd rather spend my time improving the library and hoping for the MS compiler to finally catch up.

Of course, if you believe to be able to rewrite those parts of the library that stop it from compiling with MSVC 2013, please feel free to do so. I'll gladly link to your project.

Best,

Roland

Seems MS fixed it (https://gist.github.com/rbock/b573ee3d024902998e3e)

The question was about MSVC-2013 (not 2015). There is some hope left for MSVC-2015, but as of now, that also seems problematic.

struct A
{
  static constexpr const char _literal[] =  "hello_world";
};

This does not compile even with the June-1 version. The compiler accepts the constexpr outside the struct though. See also: #43 (comment)

struct A
{
static constexpr const char* _literal = "hello_world";
};

compiles fine :)

That does not help me, I think. Take a look at
include/sqlp11/alias_provider.h or tests/Sample.h

If that can be done with const char*, then we're getting somewhere :-)
