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 the GCC 10 release series. The following table lists new library features that have been accepted into the C++20 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). A dash (—) in the status column indicates that the changes in the proposal either do not affect the code in libstdc++, or the changes are not required for conformance. The "SD-6 Feature Test / Notes" column shows the corresponding macro or header from SD-6: Feature-testing recommendations for C++ (where applicable) or any notes about the implementation.
