You can find the C++ draft by searching for "n4861", if you're not the kind of person who wants to pay for (or has institutional access to) the final version of the spec.

The draft lists ++ / += of volatile deprecated, lists volatile function parameters and return types as deprecated, but does not mention deprecation of volatile member functions (or I didn't find it).

Keep in mind that the standard does change between draft and finalization, and I've been bitten by this before (one draft of C is missing library functions present in the final standard).

> the standard does change between draft and finalization

Interesting. This topic turned up 2 months ago [0] and I was assured that the differences between the last draft and the final document were guaranteed to be insubstantial things like formatting tweaks. You're saying this is definitely not the case in practice?

The latex sources of the C++ standard are on github

https://github.com/cplusplus/draft/tree/c+%2B20

I assume that the C++20 branch actually contains the final version, but you'll have to generate the pdf yourself.
