GCC supports the original ISO C++ standard (1998) and contains

GCC supports the original ISO C++ standard published in 1998,

Another revised ISO C++ standard was published in 2014 as ISO/IEC

GCC also supports the C++ Concepts Technical Specification,
ISO/IEC TS 19217:2015, which allows constraints to be defined for templates,
allowing template arguments to be checked and for templates to be
overloaded or specialized based on the constraints. Support for C++ Concepts
is included in an experimental C++1z mode that corresponds to the next
revision of the ISO C++ standard, expected to be published in 2017. To enable
C++1z support in GCC, use the option @option{-std=c++17} or
@option{-std=c++1z}.
More information about the C++ standards is available on the ISO C++
committee's web site at @uref{http://www.open-std.org/@/jtc1/@/sc22/@/wg21/}.
