Using C++17 with clang++ on Ubuntu 16.04












1















I can't for the life of me figure out how to get C++17 to work on Ubuntu 16.04.



This works on Ubuntu 18.04:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clang-6.0


which installs the C++17 standard library headers in /usr/include/c++/7. However, when I run the same commands in Ubuntu 16.04, I get C++14 headers in /usr/include/c++/5, and C++17 features won't compile.



I tried following this as well to install clang-7, but that led to the following error:
clang: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by clang)



Apologies if this is a dumb question; I am new to this stuff and am probably missing something obvious.

          I followed the same article but with little changes:




          1. execute ldconfig after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

          2. change the "18.04" in the url to "16.04".


          The installation was:



          apt install build-essential xz-utils curl
          curl -SL http://releases.llvm.org/7.0.1/clang+llvm-7.0.1-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-16.04.tar.xz | tar -xJC .
          cp -r clang+llvm-7.0.1-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-16.04/ /usr/local/clang-7.0.1
          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/clang-7.0.1/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
          export PATH=/usr/local/clang-7.0.1/bin:$PATH
          ldconfig


          Then created if_test.cpp:



          #include <iostream>

          int main() {
          // if block with init-statement:
          if(int a = 5; a < 8) {
          std::cout << "Local variable a is < 8n";
          } else {
          std::cout << "Local variable a is >= 8n";
          }
          return 0;
          }


          The source code was compiled by following instruction:



          clang++ -std=c++17 -stdlib=libc++ -Wall -pedantic if_test.cpp -o if_test


          Execution of object file will give correct output:



          # ./if_test
          Local variable a is < 8
