Re: [SG10] Missing feature-test macros since 2017

Is there consensus that bumping the value is the right design for feature additions? I see value bumping as valuable when a design changes (e.g. the many iterations of move semantics, the changing rules around spaceship), but when there is a feature addition, then there is the potential for implementors to do things in the "wrong" order.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [SG10] Missing feature-test macros since 2017

Hey all,

I updated the SD-6 document on isocpp.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://isocpp.org__;!fqWJcnlTkjM!-5kdhq5U_HvJ_BHVqMUTJ18-Q-Pb7kG7xv3XtLAk_hVdPs7_0ReOKreaG1Jj$>: https://wg21.link/sd6<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wg21.link/sd6__;!fqWJcnlTkjM!-5kdhq5U_HvJ_BHVqMUTJ18-Q-Pb7kG7xv3XtLAk_hVdPs7_0ReOKk5A5zKY$>. I'm still having some CSS woes, but otherwise I updated the original document with the feature-test macros that have been adopted since it was first written, and organized the table by macro so that it's easy to see the history of values (e.g. for CTAD: https://isocpp.org/std/standing-documents/sd-6-sg10-feature-test-recommendations#__cpp_deduction_guides<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://isocpp.org/std/standing-documents/sd-6-sg10-feature-test-recommendations*__cpp_deduction_guides__;Iw!fqWJcnlTkjM!-5kdhq5U_HvJ_BHVqMUTJ18-Q-Pb7kG7xv3XtLAk_hVdPs7_0ReOKhzMIJNd$>). Please let me know if anything is wrong there, or missing, or generally could be improved.

Also, I went through the Straw Polls pages to see if we missed any macros and made the following list. I tried to be as liberal as possible in determining whether people would attempt to write code in both the old and new way, so as to prefer to produce a list with some things we could reject rather than miss more things... so I expect several of these may not actually need a macro. Several of them didn't (like "down with typename" - presumably you would just... write typename).

Let me know what you think. What belongs, what doesn't belong, any opinions would be very helpful. I'm intending to write a paper for Belfast with whatever we all decide is actually missing:

Toronto 2017 (201707)

Cologne 2019 (201907
