C++ Standardization History

C++ is a programming language standardized by ISO with the latest standard version in 2014. It was initially standardized in 1998 based on C++ developed by Bjarne Stroustrup since 1979 as an extension of C to provide efficiency and flexibility as well as high-level features. The current C++14 standard supersedes previous versions with new features and an enlarged standard library, and C++17 is the next standard planned for 2017.

C++ is standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), with the latest standard version ratified and

published by ISO in December 2014 as ISO/IEC 14882:2014 (informally known as C++14).[9] The C++ programming language was
initially standardized in 1998 as ISO/IEC 14882:1998, which was then amended by the C++03, ISO/IEC 14882:2003, standard. The
current C++14 standard supersedes these and C++11, with new features and an enlarged standard library. Before the initial
standardization in 1998, C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs since 1979, as an extension of the C language as he
wanted an efficient and flexible language similar to C, which also provided high-level features for program organization.
The C++17 standard is due in July 2017, with the draft largely implemented by some compilers already, and C++20 is the next
planned standard thereafter.
Many other programming languages have been influenced by C++, in
