This page outlines the GCC support in several major/popular Linux distributions. For each distribution and GCC version, it lists the latest version of that distribution that ships with the specified GCC version.

The rightmost two columns contains versions for which support is being dropped, as the targeted GCC version will now by 4.7.

The following C++11 language features are unsupported either in GCC 4.7 or in MSVC 2013 (VC12):

* Alignment support (alignas, alignof)
* C99 preprocessor (variadic macros, etc)
* constexpr
* inheriting constructors
* inline namespaces
* Unicode character and string types
* user-defined literals
* unrestricted unions
* attributes
* ref-qualifiers
* "magic statics"
* noexcept

Additionally, decltype is not fully standards-complying in GCC 4.7, while r-value references are not fully standards-complying in MSVC.
