I'm attempting to compile my (very basic) program that uses armadillo in XCode 4, but it is having problems with compiling armadillo.
When I do just a simple makefile and clang++, it compiles without problems, but using XCode it seems to be having serious issues, popping up with all kinds of errors and warnings, (when I build it without XCode, even using -Werrors, I get nothing, it builds clean).
Here are some of there errors:
const int __ret = std::vsnprintf(__out, __size, __fmt, __args); <-- no member named vsnprintf in namespace std (in file c++locale.h)
return (std::isfinite(x) != 0); <-- Expected unqualified-id (in file cmath_wrap.hpp)
etc. I think most of them are related to some function not in the standard library... does XCode use a different or incomplete standard library? And how do I change that.
I really just want to use the XCode debugger, it makes things easier when my code isn't running, and it is nice to have a graphical profiler as well.
Try uncheck option "recursive" in your "Build Setting/Header Search Path"

I'm trying to run the example "Scale_Space_Surface_Reconstruction_3" from CGAL library on CodeBlocks IDE on Ubuntu platform, as it would be nice
to have the IDE support for code completion and a more automatic configuration process.
I managed to successfully execute it by compiling it with cmake on the terminal window.
However, on CodeBlocks, after creating a new project and copying the code from the example, I get the following error:
/usr/local/include/CGAL/Scale_Space_Reconstruction_3/Scale_Space_Surface_Reconstruction_Impl_3.h:165:23: error: variable or field 'pca' declared void
Approximation pca( _nn[i]);
By looking inside the code, I found out that this is due to an undefined Macro CGAL_EIGEN3_ENABLED. As my experiment shows, if I define the macro at
pre-processing time, I do not get the same error. That is because, by defining the macro, the type definition Default::Get< wA,void>::type, becomes
Default::Get< wA, Weighted_PCA_approximation_3<Gt>>::type, and the compiler does not complain any more.
Unfortunately, as a deserved prize for messing with things I do not really understand, I get a segmentation fault at runtime.
How should I change the compiler options of codeBlocks to make the compilation succeed, and the executable run successfully?
I have the following include paths:
/usr/local/lib/CGAL/ /usr/local/include /usr/include /usr/include/eigen3.
I also included the following libraries:
libCGAL.so, libCGAL_Core.so, libCGAL_ImageIO.so, libgmp.so, libmpfr.so, libtbb.so, libtbbmalloc.so, libtbbmalloc_proxy.so
Using Xcode 6 or 7 on OS X Yosemite (fully patched), I have this line at file scope:
static const vector<uint8_t>addresses = vector<uint8_t>({0x10, 0x12, 0x73});
It compiles and executes fine as part of a cpp file. When I then create a makefile and try to build, I get 'error: expected expression' pointing at the left brace. I've played around with various syntax forms, and nothing works although the errors change. I've tried both g++ and clang as the compiler, to no effect.
Can anyone please suggest why this compiles and runs with Xcode, but not with a simple make? Better yet, what is it about the syntax I'm using that's not what it should be?
I've tried various language dialects as compiler options, but otherwise the makefile is purely using defaults.
I am a beginner was trying to do some C++ programming on Xcode. It works fine, but when I try to compile the same c++ file on my windows pc using VS, there were some errors. After I look at my code closely, there are really some stupid mistakes that I have made which caused the errors, but Xcode seemed to have ignored them...
My question is that is there any setting that I need to change to prevent Xcode from being so smart?
For example, the following code can actually compile in xcode:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
if (true or false){
cout << "How is this possible? \n";
}
return 0;
}
There are also other cases where the code is actually wrong, but it can compile just fine is Xcode which is the annoying part and I want to disable that.
As far as I can see there is nothing wrong with your code.
The ISO C++ standard does not specify which standard headers are included by other standard headers. So, it is entirely possible that the version of iostream used by Xcode directly or indirectly includes ciso646. Whereas Visual Studio's version of iostream does not include ciso646. There are many similar cases with other headers. You just need to read the error messages and realize that your error (when you move your file to a different platform) is due to a missing header file.
It would be nice if writing portable code meant writing code in accordance with the C++ standard specification, but unfortunately that's not the case. Although there are various compiler options on various implementations which can help bring different implementations closer together, in general you will just have to bring the code into the target environment and actually test it there.
So ultimately writing portable code means you'll have to learn some subset of C++ that is accepted by all the implementations you want to target.
or is an 'alternative token' in C++, and VS is incorrect to reject it. There's no option in Xcode to disable support for alternative tokens. However VS has non-standard support for or as a macro using the header <ciso646>, and Xcode does have a header <ciso646> which does nothing (as the standard specifies). So you can write code which uses or and which works in both Xcode and VS by including this header.
#include <iostream>
#include <ciso646> // does nothing in Xcode, allows `or` in VS
using namespace std;
int main() {
if (true or false){
cout << "How is this possible? \n";
}
return 0;
}
Unfortunately VS can't support all of the alternative tokens through macros and so Xcode will still support some that VS doesn't.
There are also other cases where the code is actually wrong, but it can compile just fine is Xcode which is the annoying part and I want to disable that.
If you give specific examples then I can provide additional advice on how to write portable code.
Rather than changing your Xcode settings, I suggest cross-checking your code using another development environment.
If you're looking for something cheap and full-proof. Download a VirtualBox Windows VM, and run download Dev C++ (bloodhshed)
VS does not support or: you need to use || instead.
You can include some special files but it doesn't inject or sufficiently well into the language for it to work in all instances.
If you want to suppress use of or (and your compiler supports no better way)
#define it to something that emits a compiler error, for example
#define or OR
This at least means that the nature of the compilation errors will be identical on Xcode and VC.
I am porting a project from Windows to Linux/Ubuntu, which involves using open software called "PST SDK"
(http://pstsdk.codeplex.com) written in c++. This has not been updated since 2010 but it works fine in
Windows and supposedly works/did work in Linux. I set up a demo program with nothing more than including
the header files (the library is all headers, nothing to link). I had a lot of errors but got them
fixed by using g++ instead of gcc, and fiddling with the location of the library files and required
boost files.
However once I tried making some calls, I ran into problems. I got a few things working, but the
following code:
std::vector<pstsdk::folder> folderlist;
folderlist.push_back(folder);
causes this compile error:
error: 'pstsdk::property_bag& pstsdk::property_bag::operator=(const pstsdk::property_bag&)' is private
(There is a lot of other veribiage about what was instantiated from what file). Here is the compile command:
g++ -c -I/usr/local/include -Iboost_1_46_1 -Ipstsdk -I/usr/local/include/mysql ostdemo.cpp
It is specifically the push_back call causing the errors - take that out and they go away. Of course
that is critical to the working of my program. Any idea what this could be? I assume it has
something to do with my compiler version or switches, but I can't figure it out. I am not much of
a c++ programmer so any help would be appreciated.
Your vector::push_back() requires that the type is copy-assignable. Obviously, your pstsdk::folder is not copy-assignable due to the assignment operator being private.
What are the requirements for a type to be placed in a vector? It depends on whether you're using pre-C++11 or C++11, plus what operations you plan to do on these types. See here:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector
Pay attention to CopyAssignable, CopyConstructible, MoveAssignable and MoveConstructible
So the case of it working with Windows as opposed to Linux:
Remember that "Windows" and "Linux" are not C++ compilers. You need to expand on this and tell us what version of the g++ compiler you're using on each OS.
I'm trying to use any of the C++11 features in Orwell Dev C++ but with no luck. I installed the version with minGW and whatever I set in the compiler options, I just get the "[Error] 'to_string' was not declared in this scope" in this code:
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string test = to_string(5);
}
I tried setting -std=gnu++11 and -std=c++0x but neither does the job. What's the most curious is that when I click on to_string, it shows me the overloaded functions - for long, float, int and so on. Thus, it must somehow get what the function does - how come it doesn't compile it, then? The compiler is set correctly to MinGW GCC 4.7.2 (the one bundled with the installer).
If you want to use C++11 in Dev-C++ you should to this steps:
Go to Tools > Compiler Options
Go to the tab Settings > Code Generation
Change the parameter Language Standard (-std) to ISO C++11
It is a known bug that to_string does not work with MinGW yet (which is actually GCC's fault, to a degree):

Intellisense is often driven by a different engine than the compiler (as very few compilers have hooks to make intellisense easy), so that's likely why you're seeing it in your IDE when it's not supported by your compiler.
