you use the latest version you can use

The latest version is usually a good choice for a solo project, the penultimate latest version is what I see people saying should be used for larger projects

#

always use the latest version you can use. on large projects, there will likely be constraints regarding that. in that case, you likely won't be able to use the absolute latest version but just the latest version the tools you need to use support, or whatever version regulations/certification requires you to use, etc.

Many people saying latest version possible...any takers for older versions?

Why should one do this? Can you give any reasoning?

#

You use the latest version you can. We do this even in production 🙂

#

The only thing stopping you is having to support several compilers/compiler versions, then you must pick the version they all support

#

Yeah, you take the most recent version of what is available under the circumstances, like HolyBlackCat already wrote

I recently switched to C++17, used C++11 before, so i set my project to C++17

#

C++17 is minimum. C++20 is most likely ok too, but check. C++23 is probably somewhat difficult.

#

if you're stuck on pre C++17.. you may as well go bang rocks together with the other C neanderthals </opinion>
