I'm not sure where to find major C++ projects. Looking through https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/links/libs, a bunch of them are C++17-only, but they don't look "major" (but since many of them are domain-specific, I may be wrong). If you're talking about heavyweights such as LLVM, my impression is that they tend to be quite conservative. > I just checked on CRAN today, and of the 17,694 R packages there, > only 3 require C++17 (none of which have wide adoption) and only 20 require > C++14. How many require C++ at all, though? Another question: would it make a difference to relax the requirement to C++14? Or would it be the same problem for the legacy platforms you're talking about?
