    there exists only one C++ standard at a time

    What? No. That’s not how it works, at all. When a new version of the international standard is published, that does not mean previous versions cease to exist. It just means there’s a new version.

        @rmam Older versions of the C++ standard are withdrawn.

        This just goes to show the degree of confusion you’re dealing with. You’re confusing ISO’s systematic review process with the real world. ISO’s withdrawal process is used as a janitorial process regarding documents than require updates and/or maintenance. Just because no one will update C+11 that does not mean no one writes code in C++11 or compiler writers pulled it’s support. ISO’s review process matters nothing.
