Question: How will affect REAPER binaries/plugins/VST a hypothetical C++ ABI break for Win/Linux/macOS (sooner or later it's coming)? In this kind of scenario does REAPER have an advantage for not using the std:: (Standard Template Debt) or will be a major disaster regardless?

    Hmm I don't see a C++ ABI break for existing architectures happening

    I agree with you. Some people want to extract more performance from STL and rumors suggest that it might happen in C++26 or later; although some committee members are concerned that even ``if'' it happens vendors won't follow. A difficult call, only time will tell.

    I don't think you'd need an ABI change for that though, since that would all be in the generated code
