arising from a single .cpp compilation:
gcc -Imyproject/include1 -Imyproject/include2 -Imyproject/include3 -c myproject/main.cpp -o myproject/main.o
The .cpp file is not doing anything special:
// main.cpp
#include <iostream> /* Print in std::cout */
#include <fstream> /* file management */
#include <thread> /* memory pools, multithread*/
#include "myheader1.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
std::cout << "Have " << argc << " arguments:" << std::endl;
for (int i = 0; i < argc; ++i) {
std::cout << argv[i] << std::endl;
}
}
And the myheader.h is empty.
What is the cause of this error and how to solve it?
Note: All the error lines thrown belong to issues in the standard library, and switching to g++ doesn't have any effect.
