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

Question

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
Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.3.0
Thread model: posix

Answer 1

--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.

Answer 2

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++.
