Eclipse CDT indexer does not know C++11 containers
I configured a C++11 project in Eclipse CDT to use gcc-4.7. It is not the default compiler on my system, which does not support C++11. In order for compilation to work, I need to pass the flag -std=c++11 and also include the following header path: /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.7.2/gcc/include/c++/4.7.2
Whenever I use C++11 container types like std::unordered_set or std::unordered_map, the CDT indexer complains: Symbol unordered_set could not be resolved. How can I tell the indexer to resolve these symbols correctly?
This is how I have configured my indexer:
As far as I understand the settings, the indexer is supposed to use the compiler settings from the currently active build configuration. Compilation works fine, so why doesn't indexing, too?
Answer
Setting up **__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__** does not help in my case (Jul 2014, Eclipse Kepler 20130919, Ubuntu 12.04).
To fix C++11 syntax highlighting go to:
Project Properties --> C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols --> Symbols --> GNU C++
and overwrite the symbol (i.e. add new symbol):
__cplusplus
with value
201103L
UPDATED: If you use newer version of Eclispe (as of 2016) and still experience the same problem, try value (as pointed by jose.diego):
201402L
Make sure that indexer is enabled in Project settings (C/C++ general --> Indexer)
Then reindex (Project --> C/C++ Index --> Rebuild)
if the problem still persist reindex once again. It should work now.
