>...honestly your welcome to implement your own compiler that turns it on by default just like the rust compiler which has no standard because "the compiler is the standard". The C and C++ standards are quite minimal and whether or not an implementation is "compliant" or not is often a matter of opinion. And unlike other language standards (e.g. Java or Ada) there isn't even a basic conformance test suite for implementations to test against. Hence why Clang had to be explicitly designed for GCC compatibility, particularly for C++. Merely having a "language standard" guarantees very little. For instance, automated theorem proving languages like Coq (Rocq now, I suppose)/Isabelle/Lean have no official language standard, but they far more defined and rigorous than C or C++ ever could be. A formal standard is a useful broker for proprietary implementations, but it has dubious value for a language centered around an open source implementation.
