How to enable C++11/C++0x support in Eclipse CDT?

by

I found this article in the Eclipse forum, just followed those steps and it works for me. I am using Eclipse Indigo 20110615-0604 on Windows with a Cygwin setup.

  • Make a new C++ project
  • Default options for everything
  • Once created, right-click the project and go to “Properties”
  • C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Tool Settings -> GCC C++ Compiler -> Miscellaneous -> Other Flags. Put -std=c++0x (or for newer compiler version -std=c++11 at the end . … instead of GCC C++ Compiler I have also Cygwin compiler
  • C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Symbols -> GNU C++. Click “Add…” and paste __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ (ensure to append and prepend two underscores) into “Name” and leave “Value” blank.
  • Hit Apply, do whatever it asks you to do, then hit OK.

There is a description of this in the Eclipse FAQ now as well: Eclipse FAQ/C++11 Features.
