Give how default gcc and clang are, along with the recommendation to update the standard instead of gcc and clang, it sounds like the standard is noncompliant with standard C++

Standard in the sense of commonly used or supplied

The blog post basically said exactly this:

> IMO the blame here doesn't lie on gcc or clang; it lies on the standard. that is, the standard is wrong and should be updated to make this implementation-defined.

Yes. And Hasn't this always been the case? Before GCC and Clang took over everything there were plenty of C / C++ compilers from Intel, Visual C++ etc.

Yes

The only truth is shipping code

Specs are secondary
