	Aduino is breaking my C++11 code. Is there a way to upgrade Visual Micro to a C++11 compiler? Thank you.

	Hi, Are you having Arduino compile or intellisense issues? Thanks

	Arduino and Visual Micro are getting the same errors e.g. Code (C++) void setup() { int* x = NULL; //this line compiles fine int* y = nullptr; //error: 'nullptr' was not declared in this scope //nullptr (since C++11) http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/nullptr } void loop() { } OutPut: Quote: Compiling 'null' for 'Arduino Uno' null.ino:In function 'void setup()' null.ino:11: error: 'nullptr' was not declared in this scope Error compiling

	Thanks for the info. As you can see Visual Micro provides an Arduino compatible compilation in alternative development tools that provide more features than the Arduino IDE/text editor. The Arduino world uses gcc and does not use Microsoft syntax. You can find high level examples of supported syntax here http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage. You can also drill down into the core for your selected Arduino hardware (which will either be avr 8bit or sam 32 bit). Doing so will give you additional capabilities but will not give you a Microsoft compiler. You will find that Atmel Studio (VS 2010) understands the Arduino code better than Visual Studio but that Visual Studio can be nicer to use. Both IDE's are supported by Visual Micro. Visual Micro uses the compiler and upload tools that are installed when you installed your Arduino IDE. I suggest you use the Arduino IDE for a few weeks so you an see what is supported by Arduino and after that use Visual Studio. You do have to work within the Arduino rules, there is a lot involved in creating and uploading these programs in the correct structure and does not allow for custom compilers. Sorry Thanks

	ps: Before you ask why this is not in the documentation I quote from the lead text of the visualmicro.com home page Quote: Visual Micro is a free Arduino programming plugin that makes Microsoft Visual Studio 2008-2013 and Atmel Studio 6.1-6.2 into full Arduino programming environment. Visual Micro ensures that your sketch code remains fully compatible with the Arduino Ide and is the only Ide to support all Arduino versions in a single Ide. Visual Micro shares the same configuration as the Arduino Ide so the arduino.cc wiki applies fully when using Visual Micro. Hopefully you can see it is clear that that Arduino and Visual Micro do not support the Microsoft compiler from VS 2012/2013. Thanks
