C++11 feature checking

Question

How do I check for presence of individual C++0x/C++11 language features? I know Clang has a nice system for this. What about GCC, Visual Studio or Boost? I guess one way to do it is to detect the compiler version and relate that to the features introduced in that version. But that is cumbersome. Has someone already done that?

Answer 1

boost config comes with a script to check for some but not all C++11 features.

It generates a config-file with macros for each feature.
