It was reported (see http://www.php-cpp.com/documentation#comment-1830049280) that visual c++ has not support for initializer_lists, well at least old versions of it so not support it (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh567368.aspx), so we added a couple of extra checks to ensure that PHP-CPP also compilers on these olders compilers
