Plenty of C++ compilers accept non standard C++ *in certain modes*.
The C++ standard requires certain errors to be diagnosed. A C++
compiler that fails to diagnose, for example, an attempt to use a VLA
is not a conforming compiler.
Most C++ compilers are non-conforming by default, quietly accepting
extensions that are incompatible with the standard. All conforming C++
compilers provide a way to issue all required diagnostics.
