VS2013 does not support 'noexcept'

Current develop branch contains numerous uses of 'noexcept' which causes compile errors. One possible workaround (See Ivan Ukr's response to this issue on StackOverflow

#if !defined(HAS_NOEXCEPT)
#if defined(__clang__)
#if __has_feature(cxx_noexcept)
#define HAS_NOEXCEPT
#endif
#else
#if defined(__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__) && __GNUC__ * 10 + __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 46 || \
    defined(_MSC_FULL_VER) && _MSC_FULL_VER >= 190023026
#define HAS_NOEXCEPT
#endif
#endif

#ifdef HAS_NOEXCEPT
#define NOEXCEPT noexcept
#else
#define NOEXCEPT
#endif

I really don't know why this claim always pops up again and again that MSVC does not support noexcept. It does and has so for quiet some time but with a little known macro:

_NOEXCEPT

Use this and it'll work fine with older versions of MSVC. 👍

Good to know! Your second sentence contains the answer to the rhetorical question in your first one, by the way.

He poses no questions, rhetorical or otherwise

Turns out _NOEXCEPT is just a macro for throw(), which is not equivalent to noexcept, so for MSVC2013 we'll continue to compile with no noexcept specifier.
