That page is a little dated. Intel C++ recently switched to clang and LLVM (as mentioned elsethread), following IBM's XL C/C++ recent move to a clang frontend (see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/xl-c-and-cpp-aix/16.1?topic=n...).
That leaves Microsoft Visual C++ and Solaris Studio as historically popular compilers using (by default) neither clang nor LLVM. I'm not sure if Visual C++ still uses the Edison Design Group (EDG) frontend, but many niche proprietary parsers and compilers do. AFAIU, for bleeding-edge C++ support the traditional big players were EDG, GCC, and (relatively recently) clang.
