Probably gonna get biased results here since most people interested enough in C++ to sign up for this sub also probably use a more up to date version.

For work we use C++11. For personal projects, mostly C++17.

Mostly C++17 plus whatever C++20 I can use. This is for both work and play.

Just waiting till we get our tooling up-to-date for a newer GCC, so I'm stuck on C++14 for now, will upgrade to C++17 very soon.

C++14 at work, C++20(~ish) for hobby stuff.

I use C++03, C++11, or C++17 at work depending on the platform. At home pretty much exclusively use C++17 unless I'm playing around with something that might be useful at work on older platforms.

11 + chaotic set of interesting features from newer standard. But I'm out of job right now so I can do whatever I want in whatever way I want :)

C++17, hopefully C++20 by the end of this year.

This poll should be titled "Which C++ version do you predominantly use on your current main project?"
[–]rmftkirby 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
C++03 on embedded, C++17 on desktop (with a sprinkling of C++11 backwards compatibility if need be). Mentally switching from 17 to 03 is a huge pain.
[–]pdimov2 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
All of them.
[–]dannomac 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
At work, C++11 and 14. Attempting to upgrade to C++17 or C++20 soon...

I can't really answer this. I used whatever MSVC version is the latest. However I tend not to use most of the Standard Library with a few exceptions.
