error: ‘defaultfloat’ is not a member of ‘std’ - c++11

std::defaultfloat doesn't seem to be defined in GCC, despite being in the standard (I think it's §27.5.6.4). I've isolated it to this simple program:
// test.cpp
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << std::defaultfloat << 1.3;
return 0;
}
This compiles in VC++11. I tried compiling this with g++ 4.7.2 and g++ 4.9.0 using both of these commands:
g++ test.cpp
g++ test.cpp -std=c++11
I also tried an online compile on GCC 4.8.1 here, always with the same result:
user#office-debian:~/Documents/test$ g++ test.cpp -std=c++11
test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test.cpp:5:15: error: ‘defaultfloat’ is not a member of ‘std’
std::cout << std::defaultfloat << 1.3;
Why am I getting this error?

GCC libstdc++ just doesn't support these C++11 manipulators in any of
the versions you've compiled against. A patch was submitted exactly one month ago

Linking guile to Rcpp

I am trying to link guile to an Rcpp file. It seems like things compile but there is an error when loading:
sourceCpp("test_2.cpp", rebuild = TRUE, showOutput = TRUE)
/usr/lib/R/bin/R CMD SHLIB --preclean -o 'sourceCpp_2.so' 'test_2.cpp'

Error in dyn.load("/tmp/Rtmpm2flY8/sourceCpp-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-1.0.5/sourcecpp_29e2d33505085/sourceCpp_2.so") :

The linking works fine if I remove the Rcpp header and build directly with g++ instead.
My Makevars look like this:
CXX = g++-10
CXXFLAGS = -O3 -march=native -mtune=native -fPIC -pthread -I"/usr/include/guile/3.0"
CXXSTD = -std=c++11
LDFLAGS = -lm -ldl -lgmpxx -lgmp -lmpfr -lmpc -lguile-3.0 -lgc
The .cpp file:
#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libguile.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
// [[Rcpp::export]]
int test_guile() {
SCM func, func2;
scm_init_guile();
scm_c_primitive_load("script.scm");
func = scm_variable_ref(scm_c_lookup("simple-func"));
func2 = scm_variable_ref(scm_c_lookup("quick-test"));
scm_call_0(func);
scm_call_0(func2);
return 0;
}
You are so, so close. You essentially solved this. I just took your file, made a small modification of making the script an argument and (as you didn't post script.scm) commented out the content-specific stuff. We still load it though:
#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libguile.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
// [[Rcpp::export]]
int test_guile(std::string file) {
SCM func, func2;
scm_init_guile();
scm_c_primitive_load(file.c_str());
//func = scm_variable_ref(scm_c_lookup("simple-func"));
//func2 = scm_variable_ref(scm_c_lookup("quick-test"));
//scm_call_0(func);
//scm_call_0(func2);
return 0;
}
Similarly I just added a src/Makevars to the Rcpp.package.skeleton() created file. This is not good enough to ship as you need some minimal configure or alike logic to get these values from guile-config-3.0 or alike. But it passes the litmus test. C++11 is the default already under R 4.0.*, and the compiler is recent on my box anyway so we just have this (after removing a few GNU GMP and related parts we do not need):
PKG_CXXFLAGS = -I"/usr/include/guile/3.0"
PKG_LIBS = -lguile-3.0 -lgc
This now builds, installs, and runs just fine:
> file <- system.file("guile", "script.scm", package="RcppGuile")
> RcppGuile::test_guile(file)
[1] 0
>
For reference, I committed and pushed the entire example package here. If you provide a pointer to script.scm we can add that too.
Edit: A few seconds of googling leads to the script.scm you may have used so now we have a fully working example with a working embedded Guile interpreter:
> library(RcppGuile)
> test_guile(system.file("guile", "script.scm", package="RcppGuile"))
Script called, now I can change this
Adding another function, can modify without recompilation
Called this, without recompiling the C code

Windows 7 MinGW compilation error using Boost ASIO

Having trouble compiling the following C++ code on Windows 7:
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
void handler1(const boost::system::error_code &ec)
{
std::cout << "5 s." << std::endl;
}
void handler2(const boost::system::error_code &ec)
{
std::cout << "10 s." << std::endl;
}
int main()
{
boost::asio::io_service io_service;
boost::asio::deadline_timer timer1(io_service, boost::posix_time::seconds(5));
timer1.async_wait(handler1);
boost::asio::deadline_timer timer2(io_service, boost::posix_time::seconds(10));
timer2.async_wait(handler2);
io_service.run();
}
I have MinGW installed (gcc 4.8.1) in c:\mingw with my PATH set up correctly. I have downloaded boost and declared environment variable BOOST_ROOT to be the path where it resides. I have gone through the bootstrap and b2 procedure for boost. I now try and compile:
c:\path\to\sandbox> g++ -I%BOOST_ROOT% -o main main.cpp
Gives a bunch of error: '::UnregisterWaitEx' has not been declared errors
I then search a bit and see I may need to link boost_system. So:
c:\path\to\sandbox> g++ -I%BOOST_ROOT% -lboost_system -o main main.cpp
Same errors. Thought I'd try specify library path. Did a search for boost_system and found static libs (libboost_system-mgw48-mt-1_55.a) in %BOOST_ROOT%/stage/lib. So
c:\path\to\sandbox> g++ -I%BOOST_ROOT% -L%BOOST_ROOT%/stage/lib -lboost_system-mgw48-mt-1_55 -o main main.cpp
Same errors. So I search again and see others suggesting appending a -D-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601. So
c:\path\to\sandbox> g++ -I%BOOST_ROOT% -L%BOOST_ROOT%/stage/lib -lboost_system-mgw48-mt-1_55 -o main main.cpp -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601
And the inevitable errors:
c:\mingw\include\mswsock.h:125:20: error: 'WSAPOLLFD' was not declared in this scope
int WSAAPI WSAPoll(WSAPOLLFD, ULONG, INT);
^
c:\mingw\include\mswsock.h:125:36: error: expected primary-expression before ',' token
int WSAAPI WSAPoll(WSAPOLLFD, ULONG, INT);
^
c:\mingw\include\mswsock.h:125:41: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token
int WSAAPI WSAPoll(WSAPOLLFD, ULONG, INT);
^
c:\mingw\include\mswsock.h:125:41: error: expression list treated as compound expression in initializer [-fpermissive]
Where am I going wrong?
I went ahead and rebuilt Boost again with b2 toolset=gcc --build-type=complete. Same thing happened. Finally, after all that, it turned out all I needed was to put the linking at the end of the command:
C:\path\to\sandbox> g++ -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601 -I%BOOST_ROOT% -L%BOOST_ROOT%\stage\lib -o boosttest boosttest.cpp -lwsock32 -lws2_32 -lboost_system-mgw48-mt-d-1_55
C:\path\to\sandbox> boosttest.exe
5 s.
10 s.
The -D_WIN32_WINNT was still necessary and, for anyone who has skipped the other comments, I had to patch winsock.h as detailed http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/1980/. And remember to put %BOOST_ROOT%\stage\lib in your PATH so Windows can find the dll at runtime.

How to use shared library

These are my C codes simply print “Hello" Message. And I want to make mylib.c as shared library.
[mylib.c]
#include <stdio.h>
int mylib();
int main(){
mylib();
return 0;
}
int mylib(){
printf("### Hello I am mylib #####\n");
return 0;
}
[drive.c]
#include <stdio.h>
int mylib();
int main(){
mylib();
return 0;
}
At the firest I compiled mylib.c with folowing command line to make mylib.o
gcc –fPIC –g –c –Wall mylib.c
Then tried to make it shared librarly like this
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libmylib.so.1 -o /opt/lib/libmylib.so.1.0.1 mylib.o -lc
And I did ldconfig to update /etc/ld.so.cache
Finaly I compiled drive.c link with mylib but linker showed error
gcc -g -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -I./ -L./ -o drive drive.c –lmylib
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find –lmylib
Dose someone tell me how can I compile it?
In my way, you have to follow some ways to use shared library in C.
At first I have created a header file named "shared_library.h", in this file I have introduced a function named "method" as a function of this library.
The code is following:
/*-------This is starting of shared_library.h file-----------*/
void method();
/*-------------This is ending of shared_library.h file--------*/
Then I have defined the method in another file named "shared_library.c". The definition as in code is:
/*-------------This is starting of shared_library.c file---------*/
#include "shared_library.h"
void method()
{
printf("Method is called");
}
/*-------------This is ending of shared_library.c file---------*/
And finally, the header "shared_library.h" is ready to use. I use the library in my main C file named "main.c". The contents of "main.c" are as follows:
/*-------------This is starting of main.c file----------------*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include "shared_library.h"
int main()
{
method();
return 0;
}
/*-------------This is ending of main.c file----------------\*/
I found this article ld cannot find an existing library.
It works if I change to gcc -g -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -I./ -L/opt/lib -o drive drive.c –l:libmylib.so.1

Not able to use srand48() after changing to c++ 11

Why am I not able to compile my code to c++ 11 and use the srand48 function?
I have a program where I play around with some matrices.
The problem is that when I compile the code with the -std=c++0x flag.
I want to use some c++11 only functions and this is my approach to do so.
It compiles without any problems if I do not specify the c++ version. Like this:
g++ -O2 -Wall test.cpp -o test -g
Please correct me if I have misunderstood what the mentioned flag does.
I run my code on a Windows 7 64-bit machine and compile through cygwin. I use g++ version 4.5.3 (GCC). Please comment if more information is required.
For some unknown reason (even to myself) then all my code is written in one compilation unit.
If the error is caused by a structural error then you should also feel free to point it out. :)
I receive the following errors:
g++ -std=c++0x -O2 -Wall test.cpp -o test -g
test.cpp: In function ‘void gen_mat(T*, size_t)’:
test.cpp:28:16: error: there are no arguments to ‘srand48’ that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of ‘srand48’ must be available
test.cpp:28:16: note: (if you use ‘-fpermissive’, G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)
test.cpp:33:28: error: there are no arguments to ‘drand48’ that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of ‘drand48’ must be available
Here is a sub of my code, it generates the errors shown above.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cassert>
#include <cstring>
#include <limits.h>
#include <math.h>
#define RANGE(S) (S)
// Precision for checking identity.
#define PRECISION 1e-10
using namespace std;
template <typename T>
void gen_mat(T *a, size_t dim)
{
srand48(dim);
for(size_t i = 0; i < dim; ++i)
{
for(size_t j = 0; j < dim; ++j)
{
T z = (drand48() - 0.5)*RANGE(dim);
a[i*dim+j] = (z < 10*PRECISION && z > -10*PRECISION) ? 0.0 : z;
}
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
}
Regards Kim.
This is the solution that solved the problem for me:
First n.m. explained that srand() can not be used when compiling with -std=c++0x.
The correct flag to use is -std=gnu++11 however it require g++ version 4.7+
Therefore, the solution for me was to compile my code with -std=gnu++0x
The compile command = g++ -O2 -Wall test.cpp -o test -g -std=gnu++0x
If you explicitly set -stc=c++03 you will get the same error. This is because drand48 and friends are not actually a part of any C++ standard. gcc includes these functions as an extension, and disables them if standard behaviour is requested.
The default standard mode of g++ is actually -std=gnu++03. You may want to use -std=gnu++11 instead of -std=c++0x, or pass -U__STRICT_ANSI__ to the compiler.

gcc utf-8 string literal compile error

I'm using g++(GCC) 4.7.2 on Ubuntu.
Just trying to figure out how to get the "u8" string literal prefix to compile.
I thought it was "built in" with this version of gcc.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int
main ()
{
std::string example1 = u8"Abcd";
std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
return 0;
}
$ g++ -Wall -B/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ helloworld.cpp -o hello helloworld.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: helloworld.cpp:12:26: error:
‘u8’ was not declared in this scope helloworld.cpp:12:28: error:
expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before string constant helloworld.cpp:12:15:
warning: unused variable ‘example1’ [-Wunused-variable]
I use the "-B" option because that is where my crt1.o and crti.o reside.
It's a c++11 feature, so add -std=c++0x to your command line. That works for me with g++ 4.6.3, on 4.7.2 -std=c++11 might work too
