ISO C++ 2020 In this implementation the -std=gnu++2a or -std=c++2a flag must be used to enable language and library features. See dialect options. The pre-defined symbol __cplusplus is used to check for the presence of the required flag. This section describes the C++20 and library TS support in mainline GCC SVN, not in any particular release. The following table lists new library features that have been accepted into the C++2a working draft. The "Proposal" column provides a link to the ISO C++ committee proposal that describes the feature, while the "Status" column indicates the first version of GCC that contains an implementation of this feature (if it has been implemented). The "SD-6 Feature Test" column shows the corresponding macro or header from SD-6: Feature-testing recommendations for C++.
