Xcode 10.1 supports C++14 reasonably well (I think), so you could try PE v3.11.0 and see if that works for you. It's the last version that targets C++14.
Honestly, if I had one of these iMacs with Intel graphics, I'd probably just ditch macOS entirely and install Linux. But that's just me.Welcome back @Fifi.

Thank you for your welcome back.
I did install both Monterey, Catalina, Sequoia and Tahoe on small spare SSDs from which I can directly boot from using my thunderbolt Advance Dock station ( BTW, no speed difference with my internal SSD) and QB64PE 4.x runs fine on all those OSes with their relevant XCode packages.
I've also other small spare SSDs with LMDE, Ubuntu, Debian on those, but the "small" problem is that all the Linux installations put also their grub section in the hydden EFI section, and that is damned pain in the neck to make the clean up.
Meanwhile, even Elementary OS Pro that provides a macOS kind of desktop isn't as elegant as macOS itself.
BTW, I also still run OS/2 on a tiny spare SSD because I've a lot of products my team developed for it when we closely worked with IBM in the Boca Raton and Raleigh labs that I like to use again.
But never the MS' crap named Windows ( whatever its version 4.x, 9.x, XP, NT, Vista, 10 or 11) that I use only in sand boxed VMs using the excellent product VMware Fusion ( which is free now) to protect my bare metal hardware and their internal EFI .
Just my two cents.
Cheers.

Don't tell my Mom I'm on iMac with macOS, she thinks I work on PC with Windows.

Hi Magdha,
With regard to the hashtag Vs. the section uses, I'm an old guy and prefer the sections too since it could be very painful to follow ideas within a damned long thread because many contributors forget to put their @ !
Perhaps should you start a poll and a vote? Hi, I've put this on my MaybeToDo List.

Oh hello. Steve has just created an InForm Section. I won't have to do a Poll, after all. @SMcNeill thanks.
cc @Fifi @a740g
I'll put posts referencing my InForm programs.

It's been there for a week or so now. LOL! It doesn't seem a lot of people pay attention to our forum layout at all.
