How to “activate” c++11 standard in visual studio 2010?

Question

I am new to c++ programming and I need to use the Thread class in my VS 2010 project. I\'ve found this reference, but when I try the following:

#include <

Here's what I've found by myself.

To "activate" c++11 in visual studio you need to set "Platform Toolset" in project->properties to v110 or above. So that's how visual studio will understand that it should use c++11 features.

BUT!

The Visual C++ compiler is not fully C++11 compatible. C++11 features had been supported since Visual Studio 2010 and added incrementally. Not even the next version of Visual Studio will provide full C++11 compatibility.

So it worked for (and ) in visual studio 2012.

As I suggest it's impossible to set Platform Toolset above v100 in vs2010, so it's impossible to "activate" c++11 in vs2010.

Conclusion: to use c++11 standart features in visual studio you will need to use 2012 and higher version which supports Platform Toolset v110 and above.

Correct me please if I'm wrong!
