You might have better success with VS2017.

I think Visual Studio 2015 can support C++11 default

In my library which I downloaded from internet there are functions, for example strcpy(), when I compile I see error: error C4996: 'strcpy': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using strcpy_s instead.
And there are many other functions in that library with the same errors when I compile on VS2015. I can not fix them because this is so much! This library was wrotten by C++11 standard code (following as authors of library said).
