C++26's draft international standard (DIS) was disapproved for the first time in C++ history, with national bodies rejecting the Contracts feature as not ready. The failure requires WG21 to address concerns, revise the standard, and resubmit for another ballot cycle.
Background
C++26 was expected to include the Contracts feature (P0542), which has been under development for years. The ISO DIS ballot requires a two-thirds majority approval from National Bodies, a threshold not met this time.
