|  | 1 | +Code should not rely on features beyond the configured {cpp} standard |

 | 
| 6 | 3 | == Why is this an issue? | 
| 7 | 4 | 
 | 
| 8 |  | -FIXME: remove the unused optional headers (that are commented out) | 
|  | 5 | +Relying on features that are not part of the configured {cpp} standard leads to non-portable builds and fragile code. Some toolchains accept such code as extensions or for backward compatibility, while others strictly reject it under the same standard setting. This rule flags: | 
|  | 6 | + | 
|  | 7 | +* Uses of features from future {cpp} standards (compared to the configured standard). | 
|  | 8 | +* Uses of features removed in the configured {cpp} standard. | 
|  | 9 | +* Uses of C-only constructs that some {cpp} implementations accept as extensions. | 
| 9 | 10 | 
 | 
| 10 |  | -//=== What is the potential impact? | 
|  | 11 | +Keeping code within the configured standard ensures consistency across compilers and prevents accidental lock-in to permissive extensions. |

 | 
| 15 |  | -=== Code examples | 
|  | 15 | +Replace uses of out-of-scope features with standard-conforming alternatives that exist in the configured {cpp} standard. If the newer feature (or a removed feature) is truly required, upgrade (or align) the project’s configured standard and all toolchains consistently. |

 | 
| 17 |  | -==== Noncompliant code example | 
|  | 17 | +=== Defaulted comparison operators | 
| 18 | 18 | 
 | 
|  | 19 | +Defaulted comparison operators are introduced in {cpp}20. When the configured standard is earlier than {cpp}20, using defaulted comparison operators is noncompliant. Under {cpp}20 or later, the same code is compliant. |

|  | 38 | + | 
|  | 39 | +=== Using enum declaration | 
|  | 40 | + | 
|  | 41 | +The "using enum" declaration is a {cpp}20 feature. When the configured standard is earlier than {cpp}20, it is noncompliant to rely on it. Under {cpp}20 or later, the same code is compliant. |

|  | 47 | +using enum Status; // Noncompliant before {cpp}20 |

|  | 55 | +auto s = Status::Ok; | 
|  | 56 | +---- | 
|  | 57 | + | 
|  | 58 | +=== Lambda template parameter list | 
|  | 59 | + | 
|  | 60 | +Lambda template parameter lists are available starting in {cpp}20. When the configured standard is earlier than {cpp}20, this usage is noncompliant. Under {cpp}20 or later, the same code is compliant. | 
|  | 61 | + |

|  | 73 | + | 
|  | 74 | +=== C array designators in {cpp} | 
|  | 75 | + | 
|  | 76 | +Some C-only constructs, such as array designators, may be accepted by {cpp} compilers as extensions, but they are not part of the {cpp} standard and should be avoided in {cpp} code. | 
|  | 77 | + | 
|  | 78 | +==== Noncompliant code example | 
|  | 79 | +[source,cpp,diff-id=4,diff-type=noncompliant] |

|  | 88 | +values[1] = 5; | 
|  | 89 | +---- | 
|  | 90 | + | 
|  | 91 | +=== Removed library feature | 
|  | 92 | + | 
|  | 93 | +Some features are removed in newer standards. For example, ``++std::auto_ptr++`` was removed in {cpp}17; using it when the configured standard has removed it is noncompliant. | 
|  | 94 | + | 
|  | 95 | +==== Noncompliant code example | 
|  | 96 | +[source,cpp,diff-id=5,diff-type=noncompliant] |

|  | 113 | +This version primarily reports extensions starting from {cpp}20 and later. For example, it does not yet report use of a {cpp}17-only feature when the configured standard is {cpp}14. This limitation is temporary and will be addressed in a future update. |
