[clang] Adds the -std=c++2c compiler option.

[Mordante]

Summary

This is a preparation of the next version of the ISO C++ Standard.
WG21 will start working on C++26 at their next meeting in June. This
prepares Clang to implement features after they have been voted in. It
also allows other projects like libc++ to prepare their code before the
next meeting.

441–443

This needs to go on line 457ff to C++, not C

[Mordante]

Rebased, updated and addresses review comments.

Good catch, I fixed it.

This patch has accidentally been duplicated in D150450. That version has a few more changes and @erichkeane has integrated the missing clang-cl part.

clang/docs/CommandGuide/clang.rst

Supported values for the C++ language are:
   | ``c++23``
 
    ISO C++ 2023 with amendments
 
   | ``gnu++23``
 
    ISO C++ 2023 with amendments and GNU extensions
 
+  | ``c++2c``
+
+   ISO C++ Working draft for ISO C++ 2026
+
+  | ``gnu++2c``
+
+   ISO Working draft for ISO C++ 2026 with GNU extensions
+
  The default C++ language standard is ``gnu++17``.
 
  Supported values for the OpenCL language are:
 
   | ``cl1.0``
 
    OpenCL 1.0
 

clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst

 New Compiler Flags
 ------------------
 - The flag ``-std=c++23`` has been added. This behaves the same as the existing
   flag ``-std=c++2b``.
 
 - ``-dumpdir`` has been implemented to specify auxiliary and dump output
   filenames for features like ``-gsplit-dwarf``.
 
+- The flag ``-std=c++2c`` has been added. This compiles C++ code using the
+  Working Draft for ISO C++ 2026.
+
+
 Deprecated Compiler Flags
 -------------------------
 
 Modified Compiler Flags
 -----------------------
 
 - ``clang -g -gsplit-dwarf a.c -o obj/x`` (compile and link) now generates the
   ``.dwo`` file at ``obj/x-a.dwo``, instead of a file in the temporary
