For what can be supported, see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support

Compilers generally have flags to select a version to conform to, and possibly for specific features. There are also several macros you can check. But beware of bugs and lies.

Check what version of visual studio you’re using. That will have support for certain levels of c++.

If you have 2019 or 2022 installed with the latest updates, you should have complete converse of c++20 and all older standards.

See this for reference.

Here’s a snippet:

#if defined(__cplusplus) && __cplusplus >= 201703L
    std::cout << "compiler supports C++17" << std::endl;
#elif defined(__cplusplus) && __cplusplus >= 201402L
    std::cout << "compiler supports C++14" << std::endl;
#elif defined(__cplusplus) && __cplusplus >= 201103L
    std::cout << "compiler supports C++11" << std::endl;
#elif defined(__cplusplus) && __cplusplus >= 199711L
    std::cout << "compiler supports C++98" << std::endl;
#else
    std::cout << "compiler supports C++, standard unknown" << std::endl;
#endif

To specify at compile-time, use g++ -std=c++17 for instance.
