Then you're lucky - May-be your C++ code is recent enough?

No. I have the source tree right here. Large chunks of it are quite old.


So far, most pre-ISO-C++ code I have encountered, esp. when originating
from non-gnu platforms has required major surgery ;)

Worse, "advanced c++ code" often even requires surgery between g++
releases (Much of my own works is based on C++) ;)

It's been my experience that each successive g++ release is more strict and paranoid on compliance. It'll will complain about stuff that was not kosher to start with, but previous g++ releases let it fly.
