C++26 was disapproved in its ISO balloting, falling short of the required 66.66% threshold with only 60% of P-Members voting in favor and 41% of member bodies casting negative votes. Twelve countries abstained due to lack of internal consensus, marking the first time a C++ standard failed to pass unanimously.
Background
C++ standards are finalized through ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21 balloting, requiring supermajority approval from both national bodies and P-members. Previously all C++ standards (C++98 through C++23) passed unanimously or near-unanimously.
