Description

NVC++ doesn't define __cplusplus correctly for C++20/C++23 mode (it defines it as 201709UL). Currently, we check for C++ dialect using __cplusplus in one of our config headers:

https://github.com/NVIDIA/stdexec/blob/main/include/stdexec/__detail/__config.hpp#L18-20

We should probably remove this check for the time being, or modify it for NVC++.

Research direction

Read include/stdexec/__detail/__config.hpp at lines 18-20, then verify how NVC++ reports __cplusplus in C++20 and C++23 modes. Determine the smallest configuration change that avoids incorrect dialect detection for NVC++, and confirm that the resulting checks distinguish the supported C++ modes correctly.
