I have a simple program, written in C++, on a Windows 10 machine, compiled with the MinGW g++ compiler.
I am including the <string> header, and it runs fine. When I include the string data type, it will compile, but it will not run.
The minimum amount of code to reproduce this is:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string greeting;
cout << "hi" << endl;
return 1;
}
Please note, this works fine:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
//string greeting;
cout << "hi" << endl;
return 1;
}
The version of the compiler is 6.3.0
g++.exe (MinGW.org GCC-6.3.0-1) 6.3.0
I downloaded it 3 days ago, so I assume it is the most recent version. (Maybe not?)
I have googled and browsed stackoverflow for answers.
The closest question I could find, the person gave up and changed operating systems.
One other solution I found was to use Cygwin's compiler. I would rather not, as I already have a seemingly otherwise fine compiler. It seems that MinGW tools are widely used enough that I should be able to use the compiler.
Any other forum/blog/etc resources have problems about converting strings or calling string methods.
NOTE: The same exact code runs fine on Ubuntu 16.04, with the included compiler.
EDITS:
While I realize that "It does not run" is not helpful, I don't know how else to describe it. I run the compiled program, and it behaves the same as if I entered echo ''. There is no output, no indication that anything has happened. What is the most helpful way to phrase that behavior?
If I use a debugger, I get program exited with code 0xc0000139
A quick google search returns results indication that it is a problem with the compiler. Same as the comments below about my compiler version...
To compile the program, I run g++ main.cpp -o b.exe
To execute it, I run ./b.exe
