C++ language revisions

C++23 is the informal name for the next version of the ISO/IEC 14882 standard for the C++ programming language that will follow C++20. The current draft is N4901.[1]

In February 2020, at the final meeting for C++20 in Prague, an overall plan for C++23 was adopted:[2][3] planned features for C++23 are library support for coroutines, a modular standard library, executors, and networking.

The first WG21 meeting focused on C++23 was intended to take place in Varna in early June 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4][5] as was the November 2020 meeting in New York[6][5] and the February 2021 meeting in Kona, Hawaii.[6] All meetings are currently planned virtual until November 2022.[6]

New features[]

In the absence of face-to-face WG21 meetings, few new features have so far been added to the C++23 draft. But the following were added after the virtual WG21 meeting of 9 November 2020, where they were approved by straw polls:[7]

  • Literal suffixes for std::size_t and the corresponding signed type[8]
  • A member function contains for std::basic_string and std::basic_string_view, to check whether or not the string contains a given substring or character[9]
  • A stacktrace library (<stacktrace>), based on Boost.Stacktrace[10]
  • A type trait std::is_scoped_enum[11]
  • The header <stdatomic.h>, for interoperability with C atomics[12]

After the virtual WG21 meeting of 22 February 2021, following features are added where they were approved by straw polls:[13]

  • Repairing input range adaptors and counted_iterator.[14]
  • Removing unnecessary empty parameter list () from lambda expressions.[15]
  • Relax the requirements for time_point::clock.[16]
  • std::visit for classes that are derived from std::variant.[17]
  • Locks lock lockables.[18]
  • Conditionally borrowed ranges.[19]
  • std::to_underlying.[20]

After the Summer 2021 ISO C++ standards plenary virtual meeting of June 2021, new features and defect reports were approved by straw polls:[21]

  • Consteval if (if consteval).[22]
  • Narrowing contextual conversions to bool.[23]
  • Allowing duplicate attributes.[24]
  • std::span-based string-stream (<spanstream>).[25]
  • std::out_ptr() and std::inout_ptr().[26]
  • constexpr for std::optional, std::variant,[27] and std::type_info::operator==.[28]
  • Iterators pair constructors for std::stack (stack) and std::queue (queue).[29]
  • Few changes of the ranges library:
    • Generalized starts_with and ends_with for arbitrary ranges.[30]
    • Renamed split_view to lazy_split_view and new split_view.[31]
    • Relaxing the constraint on join_view.[32]
    • Removing default_initializable constraint from concept view.[33]
    • Range constructor for std::basic_string_view.[34]
  • Prohibiting std::basic_string and std::basic_string_view construction from nullptr.[35]
  • std::invoke_r.[36]
  • Improvements on std::format.[37]
  • Adding default arguments for std::pair's forwarding constructor.[38]

After the Autumn 2021 ISO C++ standards plenary virtual meeting of October 2021, new features and defect reports were approved by straw polls:[39]

  • Non-literal variables, labels, and gotos in constexpr functions, but still ill-formed to evaluate them at compile-time.[40]
  • Explicit this object parameter.[41]
  • Changes on character sets and encodings.[42][43]
  • New preprocessors: #elifdef and #elifndef.[44]
  • Allowing alias declarations in init-statement.[45]
  • Overloading multidimensional subscript operator (e.g. arr[1, 2]).[46]
  • Decay copy in language: auto(x) or auto{x}.[47]
  • Changes in text formatting library:
    • Fixing locale handling in chrono formatters.[48]
    • Use of forwarding references in format arguments to allow std::generator-like types.[49]
  • Addition of type alias std::pmr::stacktrace which is equivalent to std::basic_stacktrace<std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator>.[50]
  • Changes in ranges library:
    • Refined definition of a view.[51]
    • Replacing function template std::ranges::istream_view with alias templates std::ranges::istream_view, std::ranges::wistream_view, and customization point object std::views::istream.[52]
    • zip range adaptor family:[53]
      • zip_view
      • zip_transform_view
      • adjacent_view (and std::views::pairwise being equivalent to std::views::adjacent<2>)
      • adjacent_transform_view (and std::views::pairwise_transform being equivalent to std::views::adjacent_transform<2>)
  • std::move_only_function.[54]
  • Monadic operations for std::optional.[55]
  • Member function template std::basic_string::resize_and_overwrite.[56]
  • Printing volatile pointers (volatile T*).[57]
  • std::byteswap.[58]
  • Heterogeneous erasure overloads for associative containers.[59]
  • Every specialization of std::span and std::basic_string_view is trivially copyable.[60]
  • Adding conditional noexcept specifications to std::exchange.[61]
  • Revamped specification and use of integer-class types.[62]
  • Moving the deprecation of C headers to the main standard for interoperability with C.[63]

Removed feature[]

  • Garbage collection support.[64]
