See the discussion on the mailing list:

Thanks for the pointer!

 

$ g++-version 6.5.0 -S foo1.cc
$ g++-version 7.4.0 -S foo1.cc
$ g++-version 8.2.0 -S foo1.cc

Good to know it now does work.

-   This will likely be supported by future GCC versions, in C++ mode.
+   This is supported by GCC 6.1.0 and later, in C++ mode.

Would it be good to say something about "by default", so that future readers aren't confused as I was?
