The original question stems from: https://github.com/boostorg/charconv/issues/174. I have the exact same opinion of GCC 4.X which is why it is not supported in charconv. Dropping support for GCC 4.X in JSON to allow for the use of charconv yields substantial performance improvements: https://github.com/boostorg/json/pull/993.
