C++11 is not a problem for PyStan! Here’s the fine print:
Supporting PyStan on Windows means compiling Stan with Microsoft Visual
Studio 2015. Here’s the list of C++11 and C++14 features supported:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh567368.aspx
- C++11 is supported
- C++14 has some support. Missing are Variable templates, Extended
constexpr, NSDMIs for aggregates, Avoiding/fusing allocations,
[[deprecated]] attributes. - C++17 (proposed) has minimal support, only Removing trigraphs,
await/resume.
I hope the unsupported C++14 features aren’t features you were planning
on using. I don’t think Python on Windows is going to shift away from
Visual Studio 2015 for some time.
