From the article:

Finally, a blog post on [[trivial_abi]]!

This is a brand-new feature in Clang trunk, new as of about February 2018. It is a vendor extension to the C++ language — it is not standard C++, it isn’t supported by GCC trunk, and there is no active WG21 proposal to add it to the standard C++ language, as far as I know...

C++ Modernization Brochure

by Don Tait

From the article:

New releases of the C++ language maintain incredibly strong backwards compatibility, making it easy to keep older C++ code working properly as standards march forward. C++11, C++14, and C++17 have transformed the C++ language in ways that make it as programmer-friendly as more recent languages but with many essential benefits that continue to make it the best choice for the most demanding software-engineering projects.

Modernizing your C++ may be the best way to both improve your team’s efficiency as well as future-proof your software investment. KDAB has broad, deep experience delivering cost-effective, long-term, pragmatic solutions that modernize existing C++ codebases without losing functionality during the process.
