C++ is very good at compatibility. If your code breaks when the standard changes, odds are it was always broke and you just didn't know. C++ isn't perfect, but it is very good.

On the other hand, if you didn't know your code was broken then it probably wasn't broken in a way that's catastrophic to whatever you use it for.
