Getting Started
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
If you already have libc++ installed you can use it with clang.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp
|
|
$ clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp
|
|
|
|
On OS X and FreeBSD libc++ is the default standard library
|
|
and the ``-stdlib=libc++`` is not required.
|
|
|
|
.. _alternate libcxx:
|
|
|
|
If you want to select an alternate installation of libc++ you
|
|
can use the following options.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -nostdinc++ \
|
|
-I<libcxx-install-prefix>/include/c++/v1 \
|
|
-L<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib \
|
|
-Wl,-rpath,<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib \
|
|
test.cpp
|
|
|
|
The option ``-Wl,-rpath,<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib`` adds a runtime library
|
|
search path. Meaning that the systems dynamic linker will look for libc++ in
|
|
``<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib`` whenever the program is run. Alternatively the
|
|
environment variable ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` (``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` on OS X) can
|
|
be used to change the dynamic linkers search paths after a program is compiled.
|
|
|
|
An example of using ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ -nostdinc++ \
|
|
-I<libcxx-install-prefix>/include/c++/v1
|
|
-L<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib \
|
|
test.cpp -o
|
|
$ ./a.out # Searches for libc++ in the systems library paths.
|
|
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib
|
|
$ ./a.out # Searches for libc++ along LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using libc++ on Linux
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
On Linux libc++ can typically be used with only '-stdlib=libc++'. However
|
|
some libc++ installations require the user manually link libc++abi themselves.
|
|
If you are running into linker errors when using libc++ try adding '-lc++abi'
|
|
to the link line. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp -lc++ -lc++abi -lm -lc -lgcc_s -lgcc
|
|
|
|
Alternately, you could just add libc++abi to your libraries list, which in
|
|
most situations will give the same result:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp -lc++abi
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using libc++ with GCC
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
GCC does not provide a way to switch from libstdc++ to libc++. You must manually
|
|
configure the compile and link commands.
|
|
|
|
In particular you must tell GCC to remove the libstdc++ include directories
|
|
using ``-nostdinc++`` and to not link libstdc++.so using ``-nodefaultlibs``.
|
|
|
|
Note that ``-nodefaultlibs`` removes all of the standard system libraries and
|
|
not just libstdc++ so they must be manually linked. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ g++ -nostdinc++ -I<libcxx-install-prefix>/include/c++/v1 \
|
|
test.cpp -nodefaultlibs -lc++ -lc++abi -lm -lc -lgcc_s -lgcc
