CMake says they are there. Other tools mostly are not.

Nobody has said they are using them in anything important, but hopefully that is coming.



CMake has support for named modules but does not support header units or C++23 module features such as import std;


Import std has been there for a while but is experimental until gcc supports it. Gcc just for that support so it should be mainline soon.


We are now getting close to the distance between c++03 and C++11 for making basic modules work on main line toolchains and build systems. That’s absolutely wild.
