It’s almost the eve of 2023 and the C++23 standard is feature complete for some while. At some point next year, the new standard version will be formally approved and we will officially have a new version of the standard. But compilers and library implementors are already supporting some of the new additions (or updates) to the standard. If you haven’t been following closely the evolution of C++23 you are probably wondering what’s in this new version.
In this article, you will find a list of the most significant changes to the standard. There is actually quite a long list of proposals that have been accepted . Yet, some of these are things that you won’t use that often; on the other hand, many are defect reports, meaning they are fixing an issue introduced in a previous version of the standard.
