using the standard input stream leads to compilation failure

Question

Running simple c++ program (e.g. HelloWorld) has no problem, but when I use cin in my code, I see the following error

procedure entry point __gxx_personality_v0 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Users\username\Desktop\helloworld.exe

I use MinGW compiler, sublime text on windows 10

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x = 1;
    cin >> x;
    cout << x << endl;
    return 0;
}

Since you haven't included any code, I'm forced to consult my crystal ball, which says the error is on line 42. The Ouija board says there's probably either a `c` or an `h` in the extension of the file name. — Jerry Coffin, Dec 21 '15 at 15:54
If you actually *run* your program to get the error, it's not a compiler error. It's not a linker error either in that case. — Some programmer dude, Dec 21 '15 at 15:55
Here's my code #include using namespace std; int main() { int x = 1; cin >> x; cout << x << endl; return 0; } — , Dec 21 '15 at 16:21

From this archive in gcc mailing list https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2002-07/msg00186.html,

__gxx_personality_v0 is part of the G++ exception handling model defined by the new C++ ABI in GCC. The symbol is provided by the libstdc++ library, which is added to the link line by g++.

So, in this case, I'm pretty sure that you used mingw-gcc to compile your code. Switch to mingw-g++ or add -lstdc++ to your command will make the job done.

I use this command to run cpp file g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloworld.exe — , Dec 21 '15 at 16:18
