(1) - meaning changed in C++11

Note that and, bitor, or, xor, compl, bitand, and_eq, or_eq, xor_eq, not, and not_eq(along with the
digraphs <%, %>, <:, :>, %:, and %:%:) provide an alternative way to repres ent s tandard tokens .
In addition to keywords , there are two identiers with special meaning, which may be us ed as names of
objects or functions , but have s pecial meaning in certain contexts .
override(C++11)
final(C++11)
Als o, all identiers that contain a double unders core __ in any pos ition and each identier that begins
with an unders core followed by an uppercas e letter is always res erved and all identiers that begin with
an unders core are res erved for us e as names in the global names pace. See identiers for more details .
The names pace stdis us ed to place names of the s tandard C++ library. See Extending names pace s td
for the rules about adding names to it.
The name posixis res erved for a future top-level names pace. The behavior is undened if
(sinc e C++11)
a program declares or denes anything in that names pace.
The following tokens are recognized by the preproces s or when in context of a preproces s or directive:
if
ifdef include
elif
ifndef line
else
define error
endif
undef pragma
defined
The following tokens are recognized by the preproces s or outside the context of a preproces s or directive:
