C++ Builder 2009 has only a part of the C++0x implemented (http://www.codegear.com/products/cppbuilder/whats-new/[^][^]):

"The future of C++ starts now with rvalue references to support move semantics and perfect forwarding. Scoped enumerations control names better, while specifying a base type for enums helps control your ABI. Explicit conversion operators avoid needless promotions and reduce ambiguities. Catch errors early with static_assert, especially when combined with native type traits and the new alignof keyword. Enhance your templates with decltype and extern templates."

* rvalue references
* Scoped enumerations
* Explicit conversion operators
* static_assert,
* alignof keyword
* decltype and extern templates

Intel Compiler 11 (http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/docs/clin/main_cls/copts/ccpp_options/option_std.htm[^])

* Empty macro arguments
* Variadic macros
* Type long long
* Trailing comma in enum definition
* Concatenation of mixed-width string literals
* Extended friend declarations
* Use of ">>" to close two template argument lists
* Relaxed rules for use of "typename"
* Relaxed rules for disambiguation using the "template" keyword
* Copy constructor does not need to be callable on direct reference
* Binding to class rvalue
* "extern template" to suppress instantiation of an entity
* "auto" type specifier
* decltype operator
* static_assert
* compliant __func__
* lambda expressions

GCC 4.3 (http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/cxx0x_status.html[^])
* Rvalue references
* Variadic templates
* Static assertions
* Declared type of an expression
* Right angle bracket
* Default template arguments for function templates
* Extern templates
* __func__ predefined identifier
* C99 preprocessor
* long long

Visual C++ 2010 (http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/10/28/lambdas-auto-and-static-assert-c-0x-features-in-vc10-part-1.aspx[^])
* lambdas
* auto
* static_assert
* rvalue references
