There are just two meetings left before the C++26 feature freeze in June 2025, and C++26 is on track to be completed two more meetings after that in early 2026. is the nutshell synopsis.

version, like this: ANALYZE TABLE removes the table from the table definition cache, which requires a flush lock. This makes the query wait for any long-running queries to finish but also can trigger cascading waiting for other incoming requests. In short, ANALYZE could lead to nasty stalls in busy production environments.

For example, don’t use an assertion to check that a remote host is available, or that the user types valid input.

Briefly, what is the difference among: (a) undefined behavior Undefined behavior is what happens when your program tries to do something whose meaning is not defined at all in the C++ standard language or library (illegal code and/or data). By definition, if a function’s preconditions are violated, then the results are not specified.
