What happened to...: Deprecated and Removed Features of C++
summary
Listing of concrete removals and deprecations for upcoming C++ standards: auto_ptr → unique_ptr (migration automated by clang-modernize / clang-tidy), removal of trigraphs, deprecation of unary_function/binary_function and old adapter typedefs, removal of register and operator+ for bool, and removal/deprecation of random_shuffle/gets with rand discouraged. Notes include committee papers (e.g. P0174, P04190), a few dozen identified clauses changed, and tool-assisted fixes that already convert several instances in real codebases.
