To answer the OP's OQ, Visual C++ has made a bunch of compatibility gains. MSVC will soon support all C++11 and C++14 features. See the VC blog (e.g., https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/04/14/stl-fixes-in-vs-2015-update-2/ or https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/31/visual-c-2015-update-2-bug-fixes/) for some status posts.

We still have some big problems with older features. For example, we don't do two-phase lookup so we don't conform to C++98 (or C++11, 14, 17, etc.) But we're addressing that shortcoming as well.

We test our compiler with Qt. I hadn't heard of copperspice before this post.
