Outdated documentation is pretty normal unfortunely, even .NET suffers from that nowadays.

Not as bad as Apple nowadays though, quite far from Inside Inside Macintosh days.

Glad to know about C23 features, as they went silent on C23 plans.

C++23 looks quite bad for anything that requires frontend changes, there are even developer connection issues for us to tell what to prioritise, as if it wasn't logically all of it. There is another one for C++26 as well.

Personally, I think that with the improvements on low level coding and AOT compilation from managed languages, we are reaching local optimum, where C and C++ are good enough for the low level glue, C23 and C++23 (eventually C++26 due to static reflection) might be the last ones that are actually relevant.

Similar to how although COBOL and Fortran standards keep being updated, how many ISO 2023 revision compliant compilers are you going to find out for portable code?
