It was 1992.
C++ is old language, however the first version of C++ standard only appeared in 1998.
Before it happened, the quality of the compilers was mediocre. Early in my career (but much later than 1992) I have used VC++ 5 and 6, they weren’t good. They were good enough C-with-classes compilers, but try slightly more complex C++ and they just crashed.
The standard library wasn’t there either, instead there were multiple incompatible STL implementations.
