Does Qt support C++11? if not, when should we expect Qt to support it?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You'll have to be more specific, which version of Qt ?

If you mean Qt 5, a quick google search gives you "this":http://www.macieira.org/blog/2011/09/cxx11-support-in-qt-5/ and "that":http://woboq.com/blog/cpp11-in-qt5.html

C++11 is still a moving target for large libraries like Qt because of varying implementation status on different compilers and platforms, but a lot is done already and Qt5 has some nifty C++11 features.

On top of what SGaist posted there's more recent "talk by Thiago Macieira":http://youtu.be/olSSGA_nD1Q. Very insightful.

Yes, sorry, I was not clear enough. I am using Qt 5 on Win 7. The most appropriate question, I guess, would be... Can I use 'Windows Qt 5' with a newer c++ compiler version?. Just like Qt has been working on the porting of its code to C++11, so have been a lot of developer, I being one of them. There is one application that I am working on that will soon need a UI, and I have my eyes set on WinQt. However, should WinQt not be ready for C++11 I will start preparing for the app with another UI.
I have looked at Embarcadero, and boy do that RAD feels powerful!!! It feels even more robust than VS10/12/13. But the price tag on that RAD is really, really, really robust too. So robust I feel I cannot afford it. Qt's price is affordable and its RAD is, is... well, it is second to none.

Did you visit the links that SGaist and Chris gave you? They discuss C++11 features extensively, especially the woboq.com article.

Qt 5 already makes use of C++11 in its code -- some Qt 5 features are even unavailable to developers who use non-C++11 compilers.
