I use gcc 4.8.1 from http://hpc.sourceforge.net on Mac OSX Mountain Lion. I am trying to compile a C++ program which uses the to_string function in <string>. I need to use the flag -std=c++11 every time:
g++ -std=c++11 -o testcode1 code1.cpp
Is there a way to include this flag by default?
If you are using sublime then this code may work if you add it in build as code for building system. You can use this link for more information.
{
"shell_cmd": "g++ \"${file}\" -std=c++1y -o \"${file_path}/${file_base_name}\"",
"file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
"working_dir": "${file_path}",
"selector": "source.c, source.c++",
"variants":
[
{
"name": "Run",
"shell_cmd": "g++ \"${file}\" -std=c++1y -o \"${file_path}/${file_base_name}\" && \"${file_path}/${file_base_name}\""
}
]
}
As previously mentioned - in case of a project, Makefile or otherwise, this is a project configuration issue, where you'll likely need to specify other flags too.
But what about one-off programs, where you would normally just write g++ file.cpp && ./a.out?
Well, I would much like to have some #pragma to turn in on at source level, or maybe a default extension - say .cxx or .C11 or whatever, trigger it by default. But as of today, there is no such feature.
But, as you probably are working in a manual environment (i.e. shell), you can just have an alias in you .bashrc (or whatever):
alias g++11="g++ -std=c++0x"
or, for newer G++ (and when you want to feel "real C++11")
alias g++11="g++ -std=c++11"
You can even alias to g++ itself, if you hate C++03 that much ;)
I think you could do it using a specs file.
Under MinGW you could run
gcc -dumpspecs > specs
Where it says
*cpp:
%{posix:-D_POSIX_SOURCE} %{mthreads:-D_MT}
You change it to
*cpp:
%{posix:-D_POSIX_SOURCE} %{mthreads:-D_MT} -std=c++11
And then place it in
/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/<version>/specs
I'm sure you could do the same without a MinGW build. Not sure where to place the specs file though.
The folder is probably either /gcc/lib/ or /gcc/.
