I have worked with decades old codebases. I use up-to-date compiler where you get to use smart pointers and all the Modern C++ features. It's your fault if you not teach them how to upgrade the compiler. There is zero risk when compiling C++98 with C++11.
It's also student fault if he selects a company with C++98 codebase. The student shall do due diligence.
It's my advice for you to teach the Modern C++ before driving into legacy C++ sort of like how you teach History. You start what's current then drive deep under.

It builds intuition.
