Motivation
Beman contributors, users, and maintainers will sometimes use a C++ version that is unsupported by a given project. There should be clear feedback when this happens, especially when it happens accidentally.
Completion Criteria
This issue will be complete when:
Guidance
A user-unfriendly error message might be a compiler returning an error like:
error: expected '(' before 'constexpr'
.Instead, we would like something more literally describing to the user that the C++ version needs to use C++23 or newer.
Mentor
