libc++ C++2b Status

Overview

In November 2020, the C++ standard committee adopted the first changes to the next version of the C++ standard, known here as “C++2b” (probably to be C++23).

This page shows the status of libc++; the status of clang’s support of the language features is here.

Attention

Features in unreleased drafts of the standard are subject to change.

The groups that have contributed papers:

  • CWG - Core Language Working group
  • LWG - Library working group
  • SG1 - Study group #1 (Concurrency working group)

Note

“Nothing to do” means that no library changes were needed to implement this change.
