For someone who wants his C++ code to be portable across the different C++ compilers, is it time to start using C++11, or is it going to be a while before the new standard is supported by all of the major compilers (VC, GCC, CLang, Intel)?
In other words, what's the status of C++11 support among the major compilers?

To see if your compiler has C++11 support, run it with just the --version option to get a print out of the version number. Do this for whichever compiler(s) you wish to use with Rosetta. Acceptable versions: GCC/g++: Version 4.8 or later.
C++11 allowed lambda functions to deduce the return type based on the type of the expression given to the return statement. C++14 provides this ability to all functions. It also extends these facilities to lambda functions, allowing return type deduction for functions that are not of the form return expression; .
C++11 was published as ISO/IEC 14882:2011 in September 2011 and is available for a fee. The working draft most similar to the published C++11 standard is N3337, dated 16 January 2012; it has only editorial corrections from the C++11 standard.
No, C++11 does not support ALL the features of C11. It does not even support all the features of C99. Variable-length arrays, for example, were introduced in C99, but C++ does not yet support them.

Visual C++ 10 and 11 (a bit old, but newest I've found):
