How does the standardization process for C++ work

The standardization process for C++ involves a structured and collaborative effort by the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21 committee, which is responsible for defining and updating the C++ standard. Here's an overview of how this process works:

Structure of the Committee

• Working Groups: The committee is divided into several working groups, primarily focusing on the core language and the standard library. There are two core working groups: the Evolution Working Group (EWG) and the Core Working Group (CWG), and two library working groups: the Library Evolution Working Group (LEWG) and the Library Working Group (LWG)1.

• Study Groups: In addition to the working groups, there are study groups focused on specific topics. These groups help generate papers that are then reviewed by the working groups.
