How does noexcept in lambda work in vs2012?

Question

While trying to do the compile example from:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/lambda-expressions-in-cpp?view=vs-2019#exception-specification

using Visual studio 2012

[]() noexcept { throw 5; }();

I have got the following error:

expected a '{' introducing a lambda body

It doesn't work. vs2012 is old and the compiler that shifts with it doesn't implement C++11 fully. I recommends upgrading. — StoryTeller - Unslander Monica, Sep 19 '19 at 06:44

The noexcept has been introduced in c++11, but the MSVS2015 onwards only(unfortunately) one can use this feature. Meaning, you need to upgrade to MSVS2015 and set the compiler flag C++11 or C++14 to compile this code.
