	P3704R1	What are profiles?	Bjarne Stroustrup B. Stroustrup	EWG LEWG SG20 SG23	2026-10-23	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-23 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Bjarne Stroustrup Target Audience EWG LEWG SG20 SG23 Tracking issue View on GitHub Abstract The aim of this note is to give a brief explanation of what Profiles are and what problems they aim to address. It also tries to dispel some myths about the scope of Profiles and give an idea of the current state of implementation.
	P4222R3	An initialization profile	Bjarne Stroustrup B. Stroustrup	EWG SG20 SG23	2026-10-23	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-23 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Bjarne Stroustrup Target Audience EWG SG20 SG23 Revisions R2 R1 R0 Tracking issue View on GitHub Abstract This note emphasizes the rationale of the initialization profile, considers a few alternatives, and suggests simplifications. Implementations exist and are tested nightly [Impl1, Impl2].
	P4392R0	C++ Tourniquet - Stricter Contracts	Jarrad J. Waterloo J. Waterloo	CWG SG23	2026-10-14	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-14 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Jarrad J. Waterloo Target Audience CWG SG23 Abstract The, mostly likely, biggest impediment to any safety proposal that impacts the language is its being backwards compatible with existing code. However, for new code blocks that should not be an impediment. Consequently, new language features can and should be made as safe as possible. It would be beneficial to the C++ community if the standard put a moratorium on adding new language features where
	P4401R0	UB and profile-defined behavior	Herb Sutter H. Sutter	SG23	2026-10-19	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-19 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Herb Sutter Target Audience SG23 Abstract Stroustrup gives the canonical example of how profiles might define signed overflow in [[P3984R0](https://wg21.link/p3984r0)] page 3:
	P4415R0	Profiles: implementation status and experience	Michael Wong M. Wong , Krystian Stasiowski ; Ville Voutilainen K. Voutilainen	EWG LEWG SG23	2026-10-23	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-23 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Michael Wong, Krystian Stasiowski ; Ville Voutilainen Target Audience EWG LEWG SG23 Abstract Profiles now have two independent implementations. Krystian Stasiowski's Clang implements the P3589R2 framework, except <ins>[[profiles::exempt]]</ins>, and most of the P4222R2 initialization profile <ins>std::init</ins>. Ville Voutilainen's GCC implements the framework, <ins>std::init, and the first working invalidation profile, std::invalidation</ins>, on the design of P3446R0 with the default-d
	P4416R0	Proposed wording for the initialization profile	Michael Wong M. Wong , Bjarne Stroustrup B. Stroustrup	CWG LWG SG23	2026-10-23	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-23 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Michael Wong, Bjarne Stroustrup Target Audience CWG LWG SG23 Abstract This paper supplies proposed working-draft wording for the initialization profile described in the design paper "An initialization profile", P4222R3 [BS'26b]. The design paper states what the profile guarantees and why; this paper states the rules in the form the working draft needs, so that the two can be reviewed together and the wording can be handed to CWG and LWG once the design is approved.
	P4417R0	Proposed wording for the invalidation profile	Michael Wong M. Wong , Bjarne Stroustrup B. Stroustrup	CWG LWG SG23	2026-10-23	2026-10

	P4418R0	An invalidation Profile	Bjarne Stroustrup B. Stroustrup	EWG SG20 SG23	2026-10-23	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-23 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Bjarne Stroustrup Target Audience EWG SG20 SG23 Abstract Memory safety has been a popular topic over the last few years. It is a subset of type-and-resource safety which has been my ideal for C++ since its inception and for which the general solution for C++ was outlined in [BS’15, HS’15, BS’21]. This paper describes the enforcement part of the solution that relates to prevention of dangling pointers and its rationale.
	P4422R0	Function Summaries for Scaling Code Analysis of C++	Gabriel Dos Reis G. Reis	EWG SG15 SG23	2026-10-23	2026-10
Doc Date 2026-10-23 Mailing Date 2026-10 Pre-Búzios Author(s) Gabriel Dos Reis Target Audience EWG SG15 SG23 Abstract Profiles [P3589R3] are to be enforced by local static analysis [P3274R0]: one translation unit at a time, and within it one function at a time. At a call to a function defined elsewhere, such an analysis has only the callee's declaration. The declaration says little about what the callee writes, and nothing about what it retains, releases or invalidates. The analysis gives the same verdict for eve
