    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Fri May 1 06:40:09 2026

    Version
    16.1 of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) has been
    released.

    The C++ frontend now defaults to the GNU C++20 dialect and the corresponding parts of the standard library are no longer experimental. Several
    C++26 features receive experimental support, including Reflection (-freflection), Contracts, expansion statements and std::simd.

    Other changes include the introduction of an experimental compiler
    frontend for the Algol68 language,
    ability to output GCC diagnostics in HTML form, and more.
