## Compiler Support
Google Benchmark uses C++11 when building the library. As such we require
a modern C++ toolchain, both compiler and standard library.
The following minimum versions are strongly recommended build the library:
* GCC 4.8
* Clang 3.4
* Visual Studio 2013
Anything older *may* work.
Note: Using the library and its headers in C++03 is supported. C++11 is only
required to build the library.
