Visual Studio: how to check used C++ platform toolset programmatically

Question

I have to build project using MSVC2012 and v100 platform toolset (from MSVC2010). Unfortunately I\'m using C++11 feature \"range based for\" across the code. I wonderin

Answer 1

I don't know if they've fixed it in VS2015, but it certainly works as expected there.

I created the following small program:

#include 
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "_MSC_VER: " << _MSC_VER << endl;
    cout << "_MSC_FULL_VER: " << _MSC_FULL_VER << endl;
    cout << "_MSC_BUILD: " << _MSC_BUILD << endl;

    (void) getchar();

    return 0;
}

I added build configurations for each platform version from VS2010 to VS2015, and the _MSC_VER corresponded to the PLATFORM version as above - despite always building it in Visual Studio 2015 in a VS2015 project.

Cheers,

Ian
