Blog is not documentation. One should not be required to follow blogs or other social media to know how to use a compiler.
Which is why the second link I posted was an official documentation link.
Finally they have their online docs and they just recently added downloadable local documentation. It "only" took them a month to have docs for their product. I am glad to be able to see the compiler switch docs for VC++17, which gives a good idea of the levels of C++ compliance which they support with VS2017. But again I do not see the issue of libraries having to document which compilers and in which modes they support rather than which level of coompliance the library supports. It is then up to the end-user to understand the compiler(s) being used and to use the proper compiler switches for a given library. My OP was to get library creators to take seriously the effort to specify the C++ compliance level(s) of their library in the library docs.
