C++11 Features?

[lojack5]

I've been working on refactoring a bit of the CBash code to reduce code duplication and make it less error prone (in the writing end of it). Specifically, I'm looking at addressing the classes used to define records, SubRecord, SimpleSubRecord, etc. I've come across a few things I would like to use that are from the C++11 standard though:

1. Fixes the parsing of closing template brackets so you don't have to put spaces. I.E: Outer<Inner<int>> vs Outer<Inner<int> >. This one is't needed, it's just bugged me for ages that the first wasn't possible.

2. Ranged For-Loops:

   int sum = 0;
   for( const int &i: vect)
       sum += i;

   vs

   int sum = 0;
   for(auto it = vect.begin(); i != vect.end(); ++i)
       sum += *it;

   Again, not needed for the refactoring I'm doing at the moment, but would be nice to use, especially in the future.

3. Constructor delegations. Nuff said I think. Makes it easier to ensure objects are in a good state when exceptions happen in a constructor.

4. Move-Constructor / Move-Assignement - makes memory management much easier

As far as building with Visual Studio, this would require 2013 (Express or otherwise).

@wrinklyninja, @Gruftikus : would using C++11 features cause any problems for you guys?

Nope, I use MSVC 2013 anyway, and the constructor delegation alone sounds like a good enough reason for CBash to use C++11.

I have not yet tried to compile CBash, and in fact I can wait for all changes, because I still have so many things on my list. I have VC++2010, but I think I can make an upgrade for free.
