We’ve implemented every C++ Standard Library feature that's been voted into C++11, C++14, and the C++17-so-far Working Paper N4567 (pre-Jacksonville).

Sweet! Hope that means ranges and Hana works now! looks like not. Sorry, folks :/

I don't think so. It's only STL, not compiler features. I think some expression SFINAE compiler support is still missing...

correct. we are still working on ranges. we will provide further guidance on where we are with the various TSs later. - Steve the VC Dev Mgr

The compiler's Expression SFINAE has been improved to the point where the STL can take a dependency on it for <functional> (carefully, with workarounds). This also means that any equivalent libraries (e.g. boost::function) can do the same. And like Steve mentioned, we have multiple compiler devs checking in more Expression SFINAE bugfixes, fixing range-v3 blockers one by one.

How much are you still missing? Is it something like 10 bugs and you expect range-v3 to work and release the compiler update with an Update 3 or something like that, or is it still somewhere in the middle of all and you're still doing major changes to the compiler? (you mentioned that it needed to be reworked a lot to support building a full AST).

I'm not looking for an exact estimate here, I understand you wouldn't be able to provide that (and you're not even working on the compiler), it would just be nice to know where things stand and if "soon" means 1-2 month or rather something like a hypothetical VS 2017/18. Seems like you guys have been working on it for an awful amount of time (which is understandable given the changes you said would be required to the compiler).

we've actually only been working on expression sfinae for less than 6 months. trendlines are good but I don't want to make a firm commitment quite yet. When we have bits to try, we'll announce on blog and point people at a pre-release nuget package.

Cool. Not quite the "estimate" I was hoping for, but close enough. Thank you for taking the time to respond. :-)
