> not referring to a specific standard of C++

This is a violation and implies that all of the C++ language is the same which may be offensive to users of a specific standard such as ISO/IEC 14882:2017. Referring to C++ generically ignores any differences between specifications.

Instead, referring to a specific standard, for example, C++11 is more appropriate to members of the ISO/IEC 14882 community.

Consider writing "C++1x" or "C++2x" instead.
