Microsoft is previewing a new CTP for Visual Studio 2013. Click here . How to check if it will have support for C++11 User Defined Literals?
I know that previous versions of VS 2013, including the November CTP did not support UDLs, and VS 2015 will have support for UDLs.
If not in this CTP, is there a possibility that VS will ever support UDLs?
You can start from THIS site, there is a lot of links you may find for possible Microsoft Visual Studio CTP updates.

How to switch on CodeLens in Visual Studio 2017?
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I recently installed Visual Studio 2017 Community and noticed that there is no CodeLens. I had CodeLens enabled on Visual Studio 2015 Community so I'm hoping that its also available for VS 2017 Community. How can I do so? Or is it no longer available for VS 2017 Community edition?
Enabling CodeLens on Visual Studio 2015 Community
You can see the officially enabled set of features per Visual Studio edition on the Compare Offerings page of the Visual Studio website.
A note on CodeLens + SSDT in particular: CodeLens was not officially supported as part of Visual Studio 2015 Community, nor is it supported in Visual Studio 2017. While some earlier versions of the SSDT installer for Visual Studio 2015 may have enabled the feature this was an error fixed in later updates. The official policy is that CodeLens is available in Visual Studio Professional and higher editions.
Codelens in Visual Studio 2015 Community is enabled by installing SSDT 2015 with SSIS & SSAS, but they haven't releases SSDT, SSIS or SSAS 2017. so we have to wait till MS release, after then we could find out....
Visual Studio 2015u3 is serviced by cumulative updates with KB3165756, which contains, among other things, fixes to the C++ compiler and libraries.
However KB3165756 refuses to do anything on a computer where Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 Update 3 is installed. It really wants one of VS Pro, Enterprise, Community or Express.
Are there special patches for Visual C++ Build Tools, or is it not updated at all and so it is actually a better idea to switch to Visual Studio Express 2015 for Desktop, in order to be able to receive patches?
Here is the answer I got on MSDN Visual Studio Development > Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum:
However KB3165756 refuses to do anything on a computer where Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 Update 3 is installed. It really wants one of VS Pro, Enterprise, Community or Express.
It is reasonable, check this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt752379.aspx and it describes this update is applies to
Visual Studio Professional 2015
Visual Studio Enterprise 2015
Visual Studio Community 2015
Visual Studio Express 2015 for Web
Visual Studio Express 2015 for Desktop
Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows 10
I have researched around and it looks like there is no special update for the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015, and refer to this blog: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/11/02/announcing-visual-c-build-tools-2015-standalone-c-tools-for-build-environments/
The latest release of the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 is here: Download Visual C++ Build Tools 2015
If you still want to install, it looks like you need a VS 2015 RTM update version on your computer. Since the VS community 2015 with update 2 and Visual Studio Express version are free and you can think about it.
Best regards,

How can I install visual studio 2013 with c++ 2010, 2012 and 2013 toolsets without installing any other visual studio versions (express or any other versions).
I need this so that I can keep my pc light and clean. Are there any alternatives to installing multiple visual studio versions for c++ toolsets?
I am developing a plugin for a program that has multiple version each compiled in c++ 2010 and c++ 2012 so I need those version of c++ toolset. For daily use I need visual studio 2013.
In the end I installed the express editions that use around 800mb each and do not add so much clutter.
MSDN's website says that if you want the C++ 2010 and C++ 2012 toolsets with VS2013, you'll need to install those VS versions on that particular machine. Link here
I don't think there are other alternatives to that.
Is there any stable version of Visual Studio that supports ref-qualified member functions in C++?
This says they're not supported in Visual Studio 2013, but it doesn't go into the various updates of VS13.
On the other hand, this says they made it into a CTP back in 2013.
Allegedly, Visual C++ 2010 Express, unlike previous versions, supports third party extensions. I just downloaded the release candidate SDK for Visual Studio 2010, but the installer fails saying that I don't have Visual Studio installed (which is true since i use Visual C++ 2010 Express). Have I missed something? Is there a version of the extension SDK that works with Express?
Visual C++ 2010 Express (or any of the Express versions for that matter) are NOT extensible.
The Visual Studio 2010 SDK can only be used with Professional or higher (as stated in the requirements on the download page).
You haven't missed anything, but your source of information was incorrect.
