Checking for availability of C++0x algorithm additions

Question

I\'m trying to figure out which of the additions to the algorithm headers are supported by a given implementation (gcc and MSVC would be enough).

The simple way woul

Answer 1

As far as I could figure out the only proper solution is to have a build script that tries to compile and run a file that uses the feature and has a runtime assertion. Depending on the outcome have a #define CONFIG_NO_FEATURENAME or similiar in a config file and guard your uses and workaround with a #ifndef.

This way it is possible to check if

1. the feature is available
2. the feature functions properly (depending on the correctness of the assertion)
