I use Orwell Dev-C++ IDE as my working environment. As a student and indie developer, I write both C codes and C++ codes, so I added this into "Compiler Options" settings
-std=c11 -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -s
Dev-C++ calls gcc.exe and g++.exe depending on file extension, so I can't create separate compiler profiles for C and C++. Then whenever I compile a program, either compiler says
[Warning] command line option '-std=c11' is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++
[Warning] command line option '-std=c++17' is valid for C++ but not for C
I am completely sure that it's safe to ignore this specific warning, but I'd like to suppress it. Is there anything I can supply to gcc/g++ so it doesn't generate this warning?
In case it depends, I use MinGW GCC/G++ 6.3.0.

I am trying to build cmake source, which requires C++11.
The build halts and apparently the complaint is that C++11 is not detected. The g++ mode is actually set to -std=gnu++17
This is part of the console log

Looking around on the web, I noticed that C++11 is only available after gcc version 4.6.
I checked my version, and it seems to be above.
g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.12) 5.4.0 20160609
I understand the -std=c++11 flag is used to enable the C++11 features in g++, but I don't seem to know what I am doing in this case.
I tried editing the CompileFlags.cmake file, but no change occurs.
I came upon this page which points to the cmake source I am using.
It says...
bootstrap: Require compiler mode aware of C++11
Some compilers have enough features enabled in their default modes to
pass our simple C++11 unique_ptr check but do not enable enough to build
CMake. Poison this case so that we choose one of the explicit `-std=`
options for such compilers.
Not sure what that means exactly.
How exactly do I change the g++ mode, to C++11, so that on running the bootstrap command, C++11 is used?
Or, in other words, how do I change std to point to C++11 (-std=c++11)?
First of all, you have g++ version 5.4.0 in your host PC installed, which is good, cause it means this is also supports the C++11, which you want to use.
To set it up, you could define it in your CMakeList.txt file:
set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
that should do the trick.
Please also check the documentation:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/variable/CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD.html
Usually, I would suggest to use the latest standard that you compiler is supporting (https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html), cause you'll get also the latest features introduced in that standard. Exception for this rather in case you are working with legacy codes.
I need the -std=c++11 flag for c++ modules when compile nginx. If I configure nginx with --with-cc-opt="-std=c++11" and then make. It gives me the error described in the title. How can I get it compile without modifing nginx source code or the compiler(for now it's gcc 4.8) version?
According to the documentation: "--with-cc-opt=parameters — sets additional parameters that will be added to the CFLAGS variable."
CFLAGS enables the addition of switches for the C compiler, while CXXFLAGS is meant to be used when invoking a C++ compiler.
The version of compiler is 4.4.6 and it should support c++0x as indicated here: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/cxx0x_status.html
But I still get below compile error:
*In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../../include/c++/4.4.6/cinttypes:35,

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../../include/c++/4.4.6/c++0x_warning.h:31:2:
error: #error This file requires compiler and library support for the
upcoming ISO C++ standard, C++0x. This support is currently
experimental, and must be enabled with the -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x
compiler options.*
The flag is already added in makefile as below:
g++ **-std=c++0x** $(LDFLAGS) $(Objs) -o Test
I tried -std=gnu++0x but doesn't work.
You have added the option to your link command, not your compile command. You need to add it to CXXFLAGS.
I've recently downloaded CUDA 7 and set it up to work with my project. On Mac, CUDA 7 requires clang to be the host compiler.
Now, I'm using a number of C++11 features. I've enabled these with -std=c++11 passed to nvcc this works. However, if I pass -Xcompiler -std=c++11 to nvcc, I get the following error regardless of if I also passed -std=c++11 by itself. The error is:
"invalid argument '-std=c++11' not allowed with 'C/ObjC'"
It seems like this should work, it certainly does with GCC. Anyone have a workaround. Otherwise, I'll file a bug report with Nvidia.
nvcc -dryrun ... will show what commands nvcc will execute. I don't currently have access to CUDA 7, only 6.5, but mine issues, among other things, two commands that compiles generated C source. This code generated by cudafe and have to be compiled by C compiler, but -Xcompiler adds options for both C and C++ modes.
I guess difference with my gcc situation is that I'm getting a warning while you have an error (this is exactly how gcc and clang differs in that case). For both compilers I don't see any way to suppress it, so I guess you have to fix your .cmake files to omit -Xcompiler options. This options shouldn't be used for language standard, just some very compiler-specific things.
Of course it doesn't work. You are specifying C++ options while using a C or Objective-C compiler. The source files must be C++ or Objective-C++.
One of my users is getting an error message when trying to compile a C part of our mixed C/C++ codebase on ubuntu 12.04 with gcc 4.8.1
We have a library in C++ with some C-linkage functions in, and want to compile a C program linking to it. The library is compiled with g++ and builds fine. The c program fails like this:
> gcc -O3 -g -fPIC -I/media/Repo/lcdm/code/cosmosis/ -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Werror -std=c99 -o c_datablock_t c_datablock_test.c -L . -lcosmosis
cc1plus: error: command line option ‘-std=c99’ is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ [-Werror]
The program has a lower case .c file suffix, so why does gcc try to compile it as c++ ? We have not seen this on other OSes.
(I know we could kick the problem down the road by removing -Werror or handle this particular file with -x c but I'd like to solve the real problem.)
why does gcc try to compile it as c++
I can think of only two plausible explanations, and they both are end-user's fault.
It could be that the user transferred sources via Windows, and the file is really called C_DATABLOCK_TEST.C, and the user is misleading you.
It could also be that the user overwrote his gcc with g++ (surprisingly many people believe that gcc and g++ are the same thing, but they are not).
To disprove the first possibility, ask the user to execute his build commands under script, and send you resulting typescript.
To disprove the second, ask the user to add -v to the compile command.
This look like GCC Bug 54641, which has been fixed in a later release of GCC. It is only a warning, but your compile flags are causing GCC to treat all warnings as errors.
