I was struggling to get some C++ code that involves the header
#include <execution>
working in XCode (Version 11.4 (11E146)) through macOS Catalina Version 10.15.3, as it failed with error:
'execution' file not found
Finally I was able to compile my code by installing the gcc-HEAD version from brew:
$ g++ --version
g++ (Homebrew GCC HEAD-93a49d2) 10.0.1 20200407 (experimental)
However, I'm still struggling to use this g++-HEAD version through XCode. I tried in XCode's "Build Settings" this way:
I also tried to change in above settings: Dialect from C++17 to GNU++17 [-std=gnu++17], and C++ Standard Library to libstdc++ (GNU C++ standard library). But XCode still complains that it couldn't find 'execution' file.
As suggested by #walnut, it seems that I need to set up the clear path to the entirely different compiler other than XCode's default clang. What shall I write down in the below window?
Thanks!

I installed llvm for clang, because I wanted to use clang for code::blocks as compiler, since I need compiler that supports c++20, so I installed llvm, the bin was added in environmental variables, even the code::blocks detected llvm as compiler, however I get error when i want to compile my code:
-------------- Build file: "no target" in "no project" (compiler: unknown)---------------
clang++.exe -c C:\Users\Temirlan\labs\lab4\rpn.cpp -o C:\Users\Temirlan\labs\lab4\rpn.o

Do you know what is the problem or maybe the picture will help?

All modern compilers support C++20 (to slightly varying extent): both Clang, GCC, and MSVC. So this shouldn't affect your choice (but I do think that Clang is the best option).
Clang can be set up in different ways: (in order of personal preference)
With GCC's standard C++ library, libstdc++. Install MSYS2, then use it to install both Clang and GCC: pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-clang. Then use C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/clang++.exe as the compiler. (There's also MINGW64 variant instead of UCRT64, read about the difference here).
With its own standard C++ library, libc++. Install MSYS2, then use it to install libc++-flavored Clang: pacman -S mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-clang. Then use C:/msys64/clang64/bin/clang++.exe as the compiler.
With MSVC's standard C++ library, aka MSVC STL. Install the official Clang build, and install Visual Studio.
Note that the first two options don't involve downloading the official Clang build. The official build wants the MSVC STL by default, which you don't have, since you didn't install VS. (And if you do install it, you might as well use it instead of CodeBlocks.)
The official Clang build can be made to work with other standard libraries, but they need to be installed separately, and you need to persuade it with some compiler flags. It's easier to install the MSYS2's version, which already uses the correct flags by default.
I had OpenMP compiling and executing in C/C++ on my Mac but then I formatted and reinstalled a fresh copy of OS X. I believe the only difference in the setup was that I had Xcode 5 before the format, and now I have Xcode 6.
Now I get fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found
I read this has something to do with clang and gcc, but, my confusion lies with why did it work before and now its not working?
After some research I seem to have found an answer.
GCC included in the latest version of Xcode (Xcode 6) is only a symbolic link to clang. Since clang does not support OpenMP at this time, you need to install a different version of GCC. The easiest way to do this would be to use Homebrew or MacPorts.
Keep in mind that even when you do this you will probably need to alter your $PATH to have /usr/local come before /usr/bin. This is because Homebrew will have placed your newly installed GCC in /usr/local. Also, some implementations may name the command gcc-49 instead of plain gcc.
Mac OSX uses clang.The gcc compiler in OS X does not support OpenMP. To use this feature a new gcc compiler needs to be installed.
Go to Terminal, if you have not installed Hombrew, install it:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://`enter code here`raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
then install new version of gcc
brew reinstall gcc --without-multilib
This will not make changes to the existing gcc compiler installed by Xcode as we are reinstalling it.
After running the command given below compile the files using the new version of gcc using the syntax : gcc-version -fopenmp filename.c
To find the version type gcc and then press tab. This will list out all the possible variants of gcc. The version number can be found out from this. For example : gcc-6, gcc-4.9,etc
So I recently installed a new version of CodeBlocks with the MinGW 4.7.1 compiler, and I am no longer able to build my projects. The compiler throws the following error:
error: unrecognized command line option '-static-libstdc++'
I believe I was previously using 4.4.1 (going by the files in MinGW/bin). I installed the CobeBlocks 12.11 package that is supposed to come with the 4.7.1 compiler included.
How do I solve this? Removing that option from the compiler settings causes my previously functional application to instantly crash upon startup.
The compiler bundled with Codeblocks 12.11 is tdm-gcc 4.7.1, which by default links libstdc++ statically and reports -static-libstdc++ as an error. So if you want to dynamically link to libstdc++, add -shared-libstdc++.
I am solving questions on Interviewstreet.com. They said they use C++ version g++ 4.6.3,C0x mode.
I am writing code on code blocks. So i want to know which version iam using in code blocks is it in C0x mode or C11 mode??
I have tried using g++ --version i got g++ TDM-2 mingw32 4.4.1.Can u tell me where i can get this kind of information.
what is the difference between C++ 0x and C++11??
You'll have to update the version of g++ to 4.6.3 (or later) if you want to use c++11 features. See this question and it's answers on how to do it for deb linux.
Then you'll have to pass --std=c++0x to the compiler in options. You should be able to easily find them in codeblocks.
what is the difference between C++ 0x and C++11??
c++0x is a synonym for c++11.
The command:
g++ --version
gives you the version of your g++ or mingw compiler. Since you got g++ TDM-2 mingw32 4.4.1 then your version is 4.4.1. If you want to use version 4.6.3 as in that web site, then you would have to update.
It wouldn't hurt to use a newer than 4.6.3 version of mingw, so please see here for the latest version. This page offers an windows installer for mingw.
After installation, you would have to configure CodeBlocks to use the newly installed compiler by looking into Compiler and debugger settings -> Toolchain executables tab and setting the paths for the compiler-related executables to the new ones.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Here is a small tutorial/example of what the CodeBlocks settings look like.
Can someone point to flags and setup changes required for one to compile C++0x code on a Eclipse CDT on mac please ?
To use C++0x in Eclipse CDT on OSX (in a managed make project):
Open the project properties
C/C++ Build
Settings
Change the "Command" field in "MacOS X C++ Linker" and in "GCC G++ Compiler" from g++ to c++ (before check that c++ is clang++ with "c++ --version" in a shell)
Add "-std=c++0x -stdlib=libc++" in the "Miscellaneous" parameters of "GCC G++ Compiler"
Add "-stdlib=libc++" in the MIscellaneous "Linker flags" parameters of "MacOS X C++ Linker"
Open the "Discovery options", select the "GCC C++ compile" change g++ to c++ and add -std=c++0x to the "Compiler invocation arguments"
Add "/usr/include/c++/v1" to the "includes" in "Paths and Symbols" in C/C++ General
The latest Apple gcc compiler is gcc 4.2 which does not support C+11 code. You need to install a gcc 4.6 - this can be done from source or there are some binaries at hpc this put the gcc in /usr/local/bin Then use that in the preferences fot the C++ compiler in eclipse.
Alternative for Lion and above Xcode 4.* includes clang the latest version of which doies much of C+11
If you want a later gcc macports (and fink and homebrew) have a later version as a port. As of July 2012 macports has 4.7.1 and a 4.8 beta. The package managers are often the easiest way to get complex compiled code onto your machine and they also have centrally compiled versions that will be downloaded by default.
