c++ - Enable C++11 in Eclipse CDT (Juno/Kepler/Luna) indexer

Question

(This question already has answers here): question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13635079/enable-c11-in-eclipse-cdt-juno-kepler-luna-indexer

Answer 1

Note that this question (and answer) only deals with the Eclipse indexer which is used to highlight errors before compilation takes place. The C++ compiler settings are not changed! (Thus, compilation could still fail because of missing C++11 settings, but have a look at the "Related" section)

To change the Eclipse indexer settings go to Project properties -> C/C++ General -> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc. -> tab Providers -> CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings

and append -std=c++0x (or -std=c++11) to Command to get compiler specs:

Afterwards it should look something like:

${COMMAND} -E -P -v -dD ${INPUTS} -std=c++0x
