    Yeah the standards for safe C++ haven’t changed, no matter how much the language changes.

      I would say the standard has changed. The current guidelines require you to use features that didn’t exist before C++11. C++11 was a huge change and it made C++ a lot nicer. The updates since then have generally been improvements but more incremental than revolutionary.
