Current test results for tst_compiler with MSVC 2015:

SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_binary_literals() Compiler does not support this 
C++14 feature
SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_init_captures() Compiler does not support this 
C++14 feature
SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_generic_lambdas() Compiler does not support this 
C++14 feature
SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_constexpr() Compiler does not support this C++14 
feature
SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_decltype_auto() Compiler does not support this 
C++14 feature
SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_return_type_deduction() Compiler does not support 
this C++14 feature
SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_aggregate_nsdmi() Compiler does not support this 
C++14 feature
SKIP   : tst_Compiler::cxx14_variable_templates() Compiler does not support 
this C++14 feature

The reason for this is that we chose to require SD-6 for C++14 support and 
MSVC 2015 does not follow it. Therefore, for Qt's purposes, MSVC 2015 supports 
*no* C++14.
