This means that starting in LLVM 22, non-critical bug fixes may not be back-ported + to C++03, including LWG issues. C++03 is a legacy platform, where most projects are no longer actively maintained. To + reduce the amount of fixes required to keep such legacy projects compiling with up-to-date toolchains, libc++ will aim to freeze the status of the headers in C++03 mode to avoid unintended breaking changes. + See https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-freezing-c-03-headers-in-libc for more details. + + If you are using C++03 in your project, you should consider moving to a newer version of the Standard to get the most out of libc++.
