I guess this thread was largely about communicating some things
to Microsoft.  I have an item to add to the list.  I'm not sure of the
terminology for this but it is supported in some of the newer versions
of g++, but not in the version of VS 11 that I have.  The code shown
below is available here:

>.

This snippet is from cmwAmbassador.cc
#ifdef ENDIAN_BIG
                  , byteOrder(most_significant_first)
#else
                  , byteOrder(least_significant_first)
#endif

and this from cmwAmbassador.hh

#ifdef ENDIAN_BIG
  ::cmw::ReceiveBufferTCPCompressed<LeastSignificantFirst> cmwBuf; #else
  ::cmw::ReceiveBufferTCPCompressed<SameFormat> cmwBuf; #endif

  uint8_t const byteOrder;

I want to rewrite that as the following in the .hh file.

#ifdef ENDIAN_BIG
  ::cmw::ReceiveBufferTCPCompressed<LeastSignificantFirst> cmwBuf;
  uint8_t const byteOrder = most_significant_first;
            #else
  ::cmw::ReceiveBufferTCPCompressed<SameFormat> cmwBuf;
  uint8_t const byteOrder = least_significant_first; #endif

and be able to get rid of the ifdef in the .cc file.  Microsoft:
please add support for this and let me know when it is available.
