Compile with c++17 mac - c++

I can't compile with -std=c++17, I got :
error: invalid value 'c++17' in '-std=c++17'
However I update Xcode and clang.
My Clang version is:
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin`
And I load the newest header like optional, I have to do
#include <experimental/optional>
instead of
#include <optional>

Xcode brings its own complete toolchain, including headers and the actual compiler.
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2) (which ships with Xcode 9.2) does not support the usage of the flag -std=c++17 since its too old. The optional header is only included under the folder experimental/. Which is why you need to #include <experimental/optional>
In order to compile your program with c++17 support using the compiler which comes with Xcode 9.2 you need to use the -std=c++1z flag.
Xcode 9.3 will be shipped with Apple LLVM version 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.30) which has support for the -std=c++17 flag. However the optional header is as of today still under the experimental/ subdirectory. This might change during the betas.

Here is what I get with this tests:
#include <experimental/optional>
int main(int, char* []) {
return 0;
}
g++ -std=c++17 -o test test.cpp
error: invalid value 'c++17' in '-std=c++17'
g++ -std=c++1z -o test test.cpp
Did you try the c++1z argument?
Also of note my test compiles without the -std=c++1z argument provided.
I think I'm on a newer version of OSX than you:
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.4.0

You should use -std=c++1z as flag.

libc++ with c++17 support since macos 15

-std=c++1z also works on Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42)

How to resolve `clang: error: unsupported option '-fsanitize=leak'` on apple devices

I am trying to run a simple leak check program.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
double *ptr = new double(3.14);
}
using the command
g++ -g -fsanitize=leak -o main main.cpp
and I get the following error:
clang: error: unsupported option '-fsanitize=leak' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin20.1.0'
I stopped using the clang that comes with Xcode and installed clang/LLVM using homebrew.
$ which clang++
/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++
clang++ --version
clang version 11.0.0
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.1.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/local/opt/llvm/bin
EDIT: When I was using apple clang, g++ used to default to clang++. Apparently that changed when I installed llvm/clang. Thanks to #cigien for pointing it out. g++ still uses default to the compiler that that comes with Apple clang.
g++ --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
According to this answer you should use:
g++-10 -g -fsanitize=leak -o main main.cpp (in this cases (with flag leak) there is no leak message for me ./main, but it compile) then it should be:
g++-10 -fsanitize=address -g main.cpp ; ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ./a.out and it detect leak well.
Note, that the correct path of brew installed g++ in MacOS is:
$ which g++-10
> /usr/local/bin/g++-10
--
$ which g++
> /usr/bin/g++ //this is pseudonym of clang
The same for gcc-10 (10 is my current version. You should use your version instead of that)
If you use CMakeLists.txt file you will configure it like this:
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -fsanitize=[sanitizer_name] [additional_options] [-g] [-OX]")
# leak sanitizer_name not works for me. should be address
And should execute cmake command like this:
cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/gcc-10 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/bin/g++-10 ..
And then ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ./a.out
Note, that if you open */CMakeFiles/3.18.4/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake file you will observe the compiled info, and now it will be g++.

How to use the available C++17 flags from Xcode in Terminal

My Xcode 9.2 has the option to compile C++ using: -std=c++17 or -std=gnu++17.
My C++ code that has some C++17 features compiles successfully.
However, if I try to compile the same code in my Terminal using the same flags, I get the following errors:
clang++ -std=c++17 test.cpp -o test
error: invalid value 'c++17' in '-std=c++17'
and
clang++ -std=gnu++17 test.cpp -o test
error: invalid value 'gnu++17' in '-std=gnu++17'
My OSX version is 10.13.3 and my Clang++ version is:
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.4.0
I thought that Terminal would use the same compiler from Xcode. That may be the case, but I can't use the same options. At least I couldn't.
I tried using -std=C++1z, but it didn't compile my code because it doesn't understand some new features from C++17.
So my question is: Is there a way to use -std=c++17 or -std=gnu++17 that are currently available in my Xcode 9.2, in my Terminal app?
This questions is not the same as the others available at stackoverflow because all the answers I found the -std=c++17options was not available in Xcode. Now we have this options, but I can't figure out how to use it in Terminal.
The compiler Apple currently ships with Xcode 9.2 (clang-900.0.39.2) does not support the -std=c++17 flag.
Xcode uses the -std=c++1z flag when you enable c++17 support. If you want to use -std=c++17 you need to manually install clang. You could do that using brew install llvm (assuming you have homebrew installed).
You can compile your program with
/usr/local/Cellar/llvm/5.0.0/bin/clang++ -std=c++17 test.cpp -o test
You change the symlinks in usr/bin/clang++ to point at the new destination if you don't want to use the full path to the compiler.
The compiler which is shipped with Xcode 9.3 will be
Apple LLVM version 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.30)
This can handle the -std=c++17 flag.

Clang compiles code using std::stoi in c++98 mode

I need to compile my cpp in C++98, not C++11 for my school project.
So I used -std=c++98 to compile:
CPPFLAGS = -Wall -Werror -Wextra -std=c++98
but I made a mistake and use the C++11 std::stoi function.
i = std::stoi(index);
I tried without the -std=c+=98 flag but it didn't change anything.
I am working on MAC 10.12.6
My code compiles without any warning or any error.
If I am not mistaken, clang should shout at me for using a C++11 function.
Why?

Apple Clang; using C++11 with libstdc++

I have an issue when compiling a simple Hello file with an empty function taking initializer_list argument when using both -stdlib=libstdc++ and -std=c++11
If I use only -std=c++11 (which means compiling with libc++)
then the file compiles and prints Hello!
If I comment function_test and I use both -std=c++11 and -stdlib=libstdc++
then the file compiles and prints Hello!
If I keep the function function_test and I use both -std=c++11 and -stdlib=libstdc++
then I get the following error:
$ g++ -stdlib=libstdc++ -std=c++11 -o test test.cpp
test.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'initializer_list' file not found
#include <initializer_list>
^
1 error generated.
Here is my file
#include <initializer_list>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void function_test(initializer_list<int> something){}
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
cout << "Hello!" << endl;
function_test({0});
return 0;
}
Here is my apple clang version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

^^^^^^^
Notice the "4.2". Your libstdc++ is way to old for C++11. Upgrade it to some 5.x version for full C++11 support.
I found out that upgrading to a newer version of libstdc++ is just not possible with apple-llvm(clang). So using some features of C++11 with libstdc++ is not possible. The reason is this one:
Mainline libstdc++ has switched to GPL3, a license which the
developers of libc++ cannot use. libstdc++ 4.2 (the last GPL2 version)
could be independently extended to support C++11, but this would be a
fork of the codebase (which is often seen as worse for a project than
starting a new independent one). Another problem with libstdc++ is
that it is tightly integrated with G++ development, tending to be tied
fairly closely to the matching version of G++.

clang doesn't know std::atomic_bool, but XCode does

I'm trying to compile C++11 code that declares a variable of type std::atomic_bool. This is on Mac OS 10.8.2 with clang:
clang --version
Apple clang version 4.1 (tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0
Thread model: posix
clang complains about std::atomic_bool:
clang++ -c -stdlib=libc++ -msse4 -std=c++11 -Wno-unused-parameter -I. -o query.o query.cpp
In file included from query.cpp:1:
[...]
./threadutils.h:33:10: error: no type named 'atomic_bool' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'atomic_long'?
std::atomic_bool work;
However, the same file compiles fine in an XCode project using the same compiler. So I assume I'm missing something in my manual compiler invocation.
I tried a few variations such as -std=c++0x and -std=gnu++11, to no avail.
I figured it out. Unfortunately I planted a false flag into my question: it didn't work in XCode either, I had a different version of the source file imported there.
The problem was that C++11 defines "a named type atomic_bool corresponding to the specified atomic<bool>", but clang doesn't support that.
Renaming the type from atomic_bool to atomic<bool> fixed it.
I found the same problem. In my case I resolved it by including atomic:
#include <atomic>
static std::atomic_bool varname;
After this, I could call g++ with std=c++11 on a Linux (Ubuntu) as well as compile on XCode.
