>From that table, using the gcc and msvc versions, that gives:
gcc msvc clang
auto 4.4 10.0* Yes
decltype 4.3@ 10.0@ 2.9
extern template 3.3 6.0 Yes
new fn syntax 4.4 10.0 2.9
right angle brackets 4.3 8.0 Yes
r-value references 4.3@ 10.0! Yes
static_assert 4.3 10.0 2.9
built-in type traits 4.3 8.0 3.0
* v0.9
@ v1.0
! v2.0
Which means a minimum clang version of 2.9 without built-in type traits, or 3.0
with.
