libstdc++
  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/documentation.html
strives to be compatible with the language standard.
They publish their defects, e.g.
  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/17_intro/BUGS
You can read more on their mailing list and defect database.

Here
  http://www.dinkumware.com/conform_cpp.html
is a comparison that favors dinkumware's products.
  "Obviously, it would help to know the detailed reasons
  why each library achieved a less than perfect score.
  For competitive reasons, we're not yet prepared to
  publish all those details."
Read all the other caveats too. A while back, the vendor
ranked lowest here published its own analysis that showed
its own product was the best, though I'd consider Plauger
more credible than them.

Bottom line: You're probably going to be OK. Standard Library
implementation have gotten much better in recent years.
