the -std=c++03 mode of the compiler is pretty stable... but not many people care about that anymore. If they cared google would be building their next kernel in C, not in C++

you can compile with -std=c++20 and still use the C++03 ABI (of course std::string will not be compliant then). The two flags are unrelated.
