Error trying to build and use latest C++

[RobNik]

I checked out the latest LLVM from git, and I built clang and libc++. Now I try to use a new feature like std::format, and I get this error below. What am I missing? (I’m on macOS 13.1)

main.cc:

#include <iostream>
#include <format>
int main() {
    int x = 10;
    auto str = std::format("Hello {}", x);
    std::cout << str << std::endl;
}

In the shell:

> llvm-project/build/bin/clang++ -isysroot `xcrun -sdk macosx --show-sdk-path` main.cc -fexperimental-library -std=c++2b
ld: library not found for -lc++experimental
clang-16: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I think I built this experimental library. (?)

[RobNik]

It suggests using -v, so here is what that shows.

"/usr/bin/ld" -demangle -lto_library /Dev/llvm-project/build/lib/libLTO.dylib -no_deduplicate 
   -dynamic -arch x86_64 -platform_version macos 13.0.0 13.1

   -o a.out /var/folders/zm/mzv_wcgn0gn4xcj3z6vl4_cm0000gn/T/main-3fd4fa.o 
   -lc++ -lc++experimental -lSystem

See this discussion:

How to use C++20 ranges and views

According to this page, the “One Ranges Proposal” is ready in Clang 15. I downloaded a binary release of clang+llvm from github here. But, trying an example from cppreference.com: #include <iostream> #include <ranges> #include <algorithm> int main() { for (int i : std::ranges::iota_view{1, 10}) std::cout << i << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; for (int i : std::views::iota(1, 10)) std::cout << i << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; } With compile command: % SYSR=/Application…

There is a secret flag.

@tschuett

There is a secret flag.

I am already using -fexperimental-library, but it’s scrolled offscreen in my question.

If I add a -L /Dev/llvm-project/build/lib, then it compiles and crashes at runtime.

[RobNik]

The runtime crash is below. I guess I need a way to tell it to use the new libc++, not the system one.
