I have installed Code::Blocks for Windows and want to compile C++14 code like generic lambdas but the binary version of Code::Blocks that I've installed from codeblocks.org doesn't support the flag -std=c++14.
How do I update the compiler and enable -std=c++14 flag for Code::Blocks?
To compile your source code using C++14 in Code::Blocks, you, first of all, need to download and install a compiler that supports C++14 features.
Here’s how you can do it on Windows:
Now, try to compile a program with C++14 features:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
auto main() -> int
{
auto add_two([](auto x, auto y){ return x + y; });
cout << add_two("I"s, "t"s) << " works!" << endl;
}
-std=c++14 to the list of flags excluded from C builds. Otherwise, building a .c file will get that flag, causing a warning. Then, you set your project to have both -std=c++14 -std=c11.
char *m_data = new char[14]{ "Hello, World!" }; this line of code compiles on VS 2015 though.
May a humble newbie make one small suggestion? A small modification to test C++14 code, to allow resulting .exe file to be run independently of the IDE it was created in, slightly modified test program follows:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
auto main() -> int
{
auto add_two([](auto x, auto y){ return x + y; });
cout << add_two("I"s, "t"s) << " works!" << endl;
cout << "press enter to continue..." << endl;
cin.ignore(10, '\n');
cin.get();
}
Thank you all, peace to all fellow coders, especially Igor Tandetnik.
