Libadblockplus solution doesn't compile in VS2012

[cat2jackson]

Hi, Everyone,

I am pretty new to libabblockplus, so I'd appreciate any assistance you could render. Thank you in advance.

What I am trying to do now is build the libadblock solution (libadblockplus.sln) (I have generated it after having seemly correctly installed python), and I am getting multiple (hundreds) compilation errors like:

1) Error 3085 error C2054: expected '(' to follow 'using' ;

code line: using _CSTD _Mbstatet;

2) Error 22649 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'memcmp' ;

code line: using _CSTD size_t; using _CSTD memchr; using _CSTD memcmp;

3) Error 15168 error C2085: 'CheckEqualsHelper' : not in formal parameter list;

code:

inline void CheckEqualsHelper(const char* file, int line,
const char* expected_source,
int64_t expected,
const char* value_source,
int64_t value) {

....
and so on and so forth.

The majority of errors occur in v8_base project.

Could you please help me figure out what I am doing wrong and whether I have to use a different compiler/or fine-tune the VS2012 compiler accordingly? Is the project using some alternative C++ standard?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Regards,
Dmitry.
