It utilizes C++11. It also implements equivalents of certain C++14 library
features that are possible to implement with the C++11 language. It does not
go beyond C++11 level when it comes to core language features.
Full C++14 support is required in your compiler.

Other C++14 compliant compilers might work as well. OctaSTD does not utilize
compiler specific extensions except certain builtin type traits - to implement
traits that are not normally possible to implement without compiler support.
@ -24,10 +22,15 @@ OctaSTD does not provide fallbacks for those traits. The compiler is expected
to support these builtins. So far the 2 above-mentioned compilers support them
(MSVC++ supports most of these as well).
While Clang 3.6 does implement a sufficient level of C++14 support, it suffers
from a bug in its template variable implementation that prevents OctaSTD from
functioning. Therefore version 3.8 or higher is necessary (where this bug was
finally fixed).
MSVC++ is currently unsupported. It is likely that it will never be supported,
as it seems that MS will start supporting Clang in Visual Studio; however,
if that does not happen and the MS C++ compiler gains the required features,
support will be added.
as MS recently introduced Clang frontend support in Visual Studio; however,
if their own frontend gains all the necessary features, support will be
considered.
