C++20 is a version of the ISO/IEC 14882 standard for the C++ programming language. C++20 replaced the prior version of the C++ standard, called C++17, and was later replaced by C++23. The standard was technically finalized by WG21 at the meeting in Prague in February 2020, had its final draft version announced in March 2020, was approved on 4 September 2020, and published in December 2020.

Features

C++20 adds more new major features than C++14 or C++17. Changes that have been accepted into C++20 include:

Language

• concepts, with terse syntax
• modules
• designated initializers (based on the C99 feature, and common g++ extension)
• [=, this] as a lambda capture
• template parameter lists on lambdas
• three-way comparison using the "spaceship operator", operator <=>
• initialization of an additional variable within a range-based for statement
• lambdas in unevaluated contexts
• default constructible and assignable stateless lambdas
• allow pack expansions in lambda init-capture
• class types in non-type template parameters, also allowing string literals as template parameters
• removing the need for typename in certain circumstances
• new standard attributes [[no_unique_address]], [[likely]] and [[unlikely]]
• conditional explicit, allowing the explicit modifier to be contingent on a boolean expression
• expanded constexpr: virtual functions, union, try and catch, dynamic_cast and typeid, std::pointer_traits
• immediate functions using the new consteval keyword
• signed integers are now defined to be represented using two's complement (signed integer overflow remains undefined behavior)
• a revised memory model
• various improvements to structured bindings (interaction with lambda captures, static and thread_local storage duration)
• coroutines
• using on scoped enums
• constinit keyword

Library

• ranges (The One Ranges Proposal)
• std::make_shared and std::allocate_shared for arrays
• atomic smart pointers (such as std::atomic<shared_ptr<T>> and std::atomic<weak_ptr<T>>)
• std::to_address to convert a pointer to a raw pointer
• calendar and time-zone additions to <chrono>
• std::span, providing a view to a contiguous array (analogous to std::string_view but span can mutate the referenced sequence)
• std::erase and std::erase_if, simplifying element erasure for most standard containers
• <version> header
• std::bit_cast<> for type casting of object representations, with less verbosity than memcpy() and more ability to exploit compiler internals
• feature test macros
• various constexpr library bits
• smart pointer creation with default initialization
• contains-method for associative containers
• bit operations, such as leading/trailing zero/one count, and log2 operations
• std::bind_front

New and changed keywords

Many new keywords added (and the new "spaceship operator", operator <=>), such as concept, constinit, consteval, co_await, co_return, co_yield, requires (plus changed meaning for export), and char8_t (for UTF-8 support). And explicit can take an expression since C++20. Most of the uses of the volatile keyword have been deprecated.

In addition to keywords, there are identifiers with special meaning, including new import and module.

New attributes in C++20: [[likely]], [[unlikely]], and [[no_unique_address]]

Removed and deprecated

Removed features:

• The C-derived headers <ccomplex>, <ciso646>, <cstdalign>, <cstdbool> and <ctgmath> were removed, as they serve no purpose in C++. (The corresponding <*.h> headers remain, for compatibility with C.)
• The use of throw() as an exception specification was removed.
• Some previously deprecated library features were removed, including std::uncaught_exception, std::raw_storage_iterator, std::is_literal_type, std::is_literal_type_v, std::result_of and std::result_of_t.

Deprecated features:

• Use of comma operator in subscript expressions has been deprecated
• (most of) volatile has been deprecated

Published as Technical Specifications

• Parallelism TS v2 (including task blocks)
• Reflection TS v1
• Networking TS v1

Deferred to a later standard

• ContractsШаблон:Snd a new study group (SG21) has been formed to work on a new proposal
• Reflection
• Metaclasses
• Executors
• Networking extensions, including async, basic I/O services, timers, buffers and buffer-oriented streams, sockets, and Internet protocols (blocked by executors)
• Properties
• Extended futures

Compiler support

Full support

• Visual Studio 2019 supports all C++20 features through its /std:c++latest option, as of version 16.10.0. An option /std:c++20 to enable C++20 mode is added in version 16.11.0.

Microsoft's compiler does not just support Windows, also Linux (and e.g. Android and iOS), while it then requires the "Visual C++ for Linux Development extension".

Partial

• Clang has partial C++20 support that can be enabled with the option -std=c++20 (version 10 and later) or -std=c++2a (version 9 and earlier).
• EDG started implementing C++20 features in version 5.0 and as of version 6.1 supports most C++20 core language features.
• GCC added partial, experimental C++20 support in 2017 in version 8 through the option -std=c++2a. Like Clang, GCC replaced this option with -std=c++20 in version 10. It also has an option to enable GNU extensions in addition to the experimental C++20 support, -std=gnu++20.

Changes applied during the NB comment resolution in the fall meeting in November 2019 (Belfast) include:

• Class Types in Non-Type Template Parameters (NTTP): The restriction of no user-defined operator== allowed has been removed as the meaning of template argument equality has been divorced from operator==. This allows also for array members in class-type NTTP.

• Function identity now also includes trailing requires-clauses (P1971)
• Constrained non-template functions have been removed

• std::spans typedef was changed from index_type to size_type to be consistent with the rest of the standard library
• Concept traits have been renamed to follow the renaming of the concepts as a result from the Cologne meeting
• Several fixes and additions to ranges (P1456R1: Move-only views, P1391R4: Range constructor for std::string_view (constructor from iterator-pair of characters), P1394R4: Range constructor for std::span<ref>, P1870R1: forwarding-range<T> is too subtle)
• Initialization for std::atomic<T> has been changed to make it work with default and list initialization, std::latch and std::barrier can now report the maximum number of threads that the implementation supports through the new member function max()
• std::weak_equality and std::strong_equality have been removed as they are not used anymore
• Algorithms in <numeric> have been made constexpr
• Missing feature-test macros for new or changed features of C++20 have been added
