Not too much. Quite a bit of C++11 is supported in compilers back to gcc
gcc 4.3, but not really useful until 4.6. (auto in 4.5, range based for
in 4.6).
CentOS 4 has gcc 4.4 (as gcc4) but is rather ancient in itself.
I am not suggesting to begin using C++11 now, but in about a year it
should be really possible.
msvc 11 has ok support I think, same with clang.
Do you have other compilers that people use regularly?
