GLIBC Version

Pick one of the following:

ldd --version | head -n1
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | head -n1
/lib64/libc.so.6 | head -n1

GLIBCXX Version

Get path of libstdc++.so:

gcc -print-file-name=libstdc++.so

Get all supported GLIBCXX versions

strings /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/libstdc++.so | grep -E 'GLIBCXX_[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+'

Get the latest of supported GLIBCXX version

strings /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/libstdc++.so | grep -oP 'GLIBCXX_\d+\.\d+\.\d+' | sort -V | tail -n1

So finally we get:

strings `gcc -print-file-name=libstdc++.so` | grep -oP 'GLIBCXX_\d+\.\d+\.\d+' | sort -V | tail -n1

Supported C++ Standards

Get supported C++ standards by current installed GCC by one-line command:

gcc -v --help 2> /dev/null | grep -iv deprecated | grep "C++" | sed -n '/^ *-std=\([^<][^ ]\+\).*/ {s//\1/p}'
