CDT does not recognize C++11 features

I had several issues too (Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit, g++-4.8, eclipse Juno 3.8.1, CDT 6.0.0). A lot of things are mentioned above, sorry to repeat those, but additionally I had problems utilizing

std::thread

as part of c++11 (adding -pthread for the linker solves that issue). Anyway, finally these settings worked fine:

Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Miscellaneous. Add the

-std=c++11

flag for the GCC and G++ compilers. Click Apply.

For the linker, same window, Miscellaneous, Linker flags, added the

-pthread

flag. Shared library settings, Shared object name, add the

-Wl,--no-as-needed

flag too. Click Apply.

C/C++ General -> Paths and symbols -> Symbols TAB, GNU C++ selected, Add the

__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__

(no value)

flag. Click Apply.

C/C++ General -> Preprocessor Include paths.. -> Providers tab : check

CDT GCC built-in Compiler Settings

and for "Command to get compiler specs", add the

-std=c++11

flag. Uncheck Share. Click Apply.

CDT Managages Build Setting Entries, check this too. Uncheck the two others. Click Apply.

Going back to the Entries tab, GNU C++ CDT Managages Build Setting Entries, you should now see your added

__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__

entry.

That's it. When coding, typing

std::

can now auto-complete the thread class for instance, builds should work fine and there should be no

std::system_error'what(): Enable multithreading to use std::thread: Operation not permitted

at runtime.

• Go to Project -> Properties -> C/C++ General -> Path and Symbols -> Tab [Symbols].
• Add the symbol : __cplusplus with the value 201103L

• right-click the project and go to "Properties"
• C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Tool Settings -> GCC C++ Compiler -> Miscellaneous -> Other Flags. Put -lm at the end of other flags text box and OK.

For Eclipse CDT Kepler what worked for me to get rid of std::thread unresolved symbol is: Go to Preferences->C/C++->Build->Settings Select the Discovery tab Select CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings [Shared] Add the -std=c++11 to the "Command to get the compiler specs:" field such as: ${COMMAND} -E -P -v -dD -std=c++11 ${INPUTS} Ok and Rebuild Index for the project. Adding -std=c++11 to project Properties/C/C++ Build->Settings->Tool Settings->GCC C++ Compiler->Miscellaneous->Other Flags wasn't enough for Kepler, however it was enough for older versions such as Helios.
