Where is definition of std::function in clang++ (3.3/Xcode) - c++

Problem Solved => see the update at the end
I'm trying to use std::function but it looks like just include <functional> does not provide the definition. I have tried to compile following code:
#include <functional>
std::function<int(int)> f = nullptr;
with c++11 as compile option:
% clang++ -c -std=c++11 t.cc
cause:
t.cc:3:6: error: no type named 'function' in namespace 'std'
std::function<int(int)> f = nullptr;
~~~~~^
t.cc:3:14: error: expected unqualified-id
std::function<int(int)> f = nullptr;
^
2 errors generated.
what am I missing? I know C++ well but new to clang++/C++11 thus I lack of important knowledge, I guess.
I'm using clang++ on MacOS X 10.8.
Update 1
I have tried a sample at cppreference.com site but it won't compile too. Giving some option solve the problem?
Update 2
Tried above sample from cppreference.com with clang++ -c -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++11 x.cc, and compiler still says:
x.cc:1:10: fatal error: 'functional' file not found
#include <functional>
^
1 error generated.
Where is functional? I guess I should give -stdlib=libc++11 or whatever but it does not work too:
clang: error: invalid library name in argument '-stdlib=libc++11'
How I can find list of argument for -stdlib? (note: in man page, only available options are libc++ and libstdc++ both of them don't work)
Or functional just does not work?

This is not about the definition of the function. You don't have a linker error. You have a compiler error. The problem is, presumably, that the BSD/GNU/Darwin standard library installed in the real sysroot doesn't support C++11. You have to use the one that comes with Clang by specifying the -stdlib=libc++ compiler flag.

For C++11, it's best to always invoke clang as: clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++
I use this most of the time, so I set the environment variable $CXX to this value. That way, I'm getting the dialect and library option in both compilation and linking. -std=c++11 is insufficient, as clang will still use the (old) system gcc headers in /usr/include/c++/4.2.1.
-stdlib=libc++ will use the clang headers in /usr/lib/c++/v1 such as <functional>.
There's a similar question with an answer by Howard Hinnant, who is (IIRC) an Apple engineer.

Compiling c++14 Code with Mac Terminal Compiler

I'm trying to code the BST ADT, and the specification we were given requires use of 'auto' that is only included in C++14. I'm trying to compile, but I keep getting errors that 'auto' is only included in C++14, so I'm just wondering if there's a different way to compile the code so that it includes C++14? In every previous project I've done (over the last three semesters) I've been able to compile the file (say called main.cpp) just by using the code:
g++ -o main main.cpp
I've tried the following compile code
g++ -std=c++14 -o main main.cpp
but when I do that, I get like 100 errors that look like
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/string:1002:86: error: member reference base type 'std::__1::basic_string::__self_view' (aka 'int') is not a structure or union
append(const _Tp& __t) { __self_view __sv = __t; return append(__sv.data(), __sv.size()); }
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/string:1002:99: error: member reference base type 'std::__1::basic_string::__self_view' (aka 'int') is not a structure or union
append(const _Tp& __t) { __self_view __sv = __t; return append(__sv.data(), __sv.size()); }
What do these even mean?
I figured out the reasons behind the errors (turned out to be templating mistakes), but in the end compiling with g++ -std=c++14 -o main main.cpp is working. I still don't really understand any of the compilation stuff though, so if someone could explain a little bit/ provide a link I would appreciate
(this is not an answer, but too long for a comment)
Where did you get your g++ from? On most modern Mac OS installs, it is a symlink for clang++. What does g++ --version print?
Certainly you're using libc++, not libstdc++. The __1 in the type names is a giveaway, along with the path to <string>.
And the error message ('std::__1::basic_string::__self_view' (aka 'int') is weird, too. basic_string::__self_view is a string_view, not an int.
if you use Unix based operating systems such as Linux and OS X try this:
clang++ -g -std=c++1y main.cpp -o main

Unable to use aligned `operator new` in a module with Clang

I'm experimenting with Clang "modules" feature, and I'm trying to compile following piece of code:
export module a;
#include <new>
export void *foo()
{
return ::operator new(1, std::align_val_t(1));
}
export int main() {}
Try it live
When I tried clang++ -std=c++2a -pedantic-errors -fmodules-ts --precompile -x c++-module a.cpp -o a.pcm, I got
error: ISO C++ requires a definition in this translation unit for function 'operator new'
because its type does not have linkage [-Werror,-Wundefined-internal-type]
a.cpp:7:14: note: used here
return ::operator new(1, std::align_val_t(1));
^
1 error generated.
Removing -pedantic-errors fixes the error, but when I try to link the resulting module using clang++ -std=c++2a -fmodules-ts a.pcm -o a.exe, I get
Z:\Lander\msys2\tmp\a-cfaf65.o:a.pcm:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to
`_ZnwyW1aESt11align_val_t'
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
It's especially annoying since <iostream> (indirectly) seems to rely on the aligned operator new, so I can't use it in modules too. As well as some other standard headers.
What's going on here?
It it's a Clang bug, how can I work around it?
My Clang is the latest version provided by MSYS2:
# clang++ --version
clang version 8.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_800/final)
Target: x86_64-w64-windows-gnu
Thread model: posix
EDIT:
Filed a bug report, let's see what happens...
The standard library isn't part of your module a. So don't include the header after the export module a;. Include the header before that.

Error "sigemptyset was not declared in this scope" when using C+11 and Newlib

We are catching compiler errors when using sigemptyset on Cygwin under Newlib. The error occurs with a C++ compiler, but only when -std=XXX is used. Without a standard option, the test program compiles and executes as expected.
The test program is below, and the Cygwin header of interest follows. I don't see anything suspicious in the Cygwin header.
I've tried tricks like #define _GNU_SOURCE and #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 700. I've also tried tricks like using the global and std namespaces. Related, see What does -D_XOPEN_SOURCE do/mean? and Namespace issues in c++11?.
What is causing the compile failure and how do I fix it?
$ cat ~/test.cxx
#include <signal.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
struct sigaction new_handler;
return sigemptyset(&new_handler.sa_mask);
}
Without a -std=XXX, it results in:
$ g++ -c test.cxx
$
With a -std=XXX, it results in:
$ g++ -std=c++03 -c test.cxx
test.cxx: In function int main(int, char**):
test.cxx:6:44: error: sigemptyset was not declared in this scope
return sigemptyset(&new_handler.sa_mask);
And when trying to use sigemptyset in the global namespace:
$ g++ -std=c++03 -c test.cxx
test.cxx: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
test.cxx:6:12: error: ‘::sigemptyset’ has not been declared
return ::sigemptyset(&new_handler.sa_mask);
^
Things get worse when using -std=gnu++03 and friends.
The function is an extension over the ISO C standard.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/sigemptyset.html
as such is protected on /usr/include/sys/signal.h by
__XSI_VISIBLE >= 4
see /usr/include/sys/features.h for details.
As defaults the largest definition set is used, but -std=XXX reduces the definition scope
The issue was worked through at Botan 2.1.0 does not compile under Cygwin 2.8.0 with g++ 5.4.0. Here are the two comments of interest.
First, from noloader:
Cygwin uses Newlib, not GNU's libstdc++. When there's no
-std=c++XX, current GCC defaults to -std=gnu++11 (GCC 6 changes
to gnu++14 by default). I
believe GNU sources ensures expected functions, like sigaction, are
available.
You might consider trying -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 or
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700.
Also see C++ and feature guards Warning
Question on the
Newlib mailing list.
Second, from SideChannel:
Thanks to #noloader. Until now -std=c++11 was set in Makefile. The
important info is in above mentioned thread on the Newlib mailing
list. Yaakov Selkowitz wrote:
G++ defines _GNU_SOURCE on glibc targets, meaning that -std=c++NN is, contrary to the documentation, not strict ISO C++:
So, applying the patch #987
AND setting -std=gnu++11 works for me. I
did not try the other -D options (I think the other fact is more
fundamental). Summarizing, #randombit please apply the PR #987 and set
-std=gnu++11 for gcc under Cygwin.

How to compile Hinnant's short_alloc allocator

I'd like to try the new Hinnant's short_alloc allocator that, as far as I can understand, replaces the old stack_alloc allocator. However, I can't manage to compile the vector example. g++ says:
~# g++ -std=c++11 stack-allocator-test.cpp -o stack-allocator-test
In file included from stack-allocator-test.cpp:6:0:
short_alloc.h:11:13: error: ‘alignment’ is not a type
short_alloc.h:11:22: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘alignas’ with no type [-fpermissive]
short_alloc.h:11:22: error: expected ‘;’ at end of member declaration
As far as I can tell, g++ complains about line 10 and 11:
static const std::size_t alignment = 16;
alignas(alignment) char buf_[N];
It seems that the compiler doesn't like the "expression version" of alignas but it expects just the "type-id version".
I'm using g++ 4.7.2 under Ubuntu 12.10.
~# g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1) 4.7.2
Probably I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. (Please don't tell me I have to upgrade to a newer g++, I'm too lazy to do that :)
g++-4.7.2 doesn't support alignas. From http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html:
Alignment support | N2341 | GCC 4.8
Try using g++-4.8.0 or clang; alternatively you may be able to use the __attribute__((aligned)):
__attribute__((aligned (8))) char buf_[12];
Note that __attribute__((aligned)) only accepts certain integer constant expressions (literals, template parameters); it doesn't accept static const variables.

builds in xcode 4.6 but fails using command line

When I run following code snippet from Xcode4.6 it compiles and runs fine. But when I try to compile it using command line tool (clang++) it fails to do so.
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
std::unique_ptr<int> foo(new int(0));
// insert code here...
std::cout << "Hello, this is cool giri World!\n";
return 0;
}
Here is compile log:

Try using clang's own standard library:
clang -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ main.cpp
The default is GNU's standard library (libstdc++), but the version Apple included is quite old and doesn't have C++11 support.
You can look for yourself to see what command line Xcode used.
Build your project in Xcode.
Switch to log view. The icon for it looks like a speech bubble with a couple of lines in it.
Click on the latest build.
A list of build steps will show up in the main editing area. Right-click on "Compile main.cpp" and select "Copy Transcript for Shown Results".
Paste this into your favorite text editor to see the exact command line that Xcode used to build your project.
Make sure you are invoking clang++, not clang, for both the compiler and linker.
clang++ (as compiler) needs the -std=c++11 and -stdlib=libc++ compiler flags, and clang++ (as linker) needs the -stdlib=libc++ linker flag.
thanks Everyone for suggesting me solutions which kept me going.
Finally this is what worked for me.
I uninstalled command line tools using shell script mentioned in http://www.cocoanetics.com/2012/07/you-dont-need-the-xcode-command-line-tools/
and then used
$xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
to set xcode version . and finally used
$xcrun clang++ main1.cpp -stdlib=libc++
to compile my code.
This worked fine. thanks!!
