Error: Macro names Must Be Identifiers with -std=c++11

[dmitryponv]

Good afternoon,

I have been running adding -std=c++11 to the pre-processor macros for a project and it has never had any issues building.

I reinstalled Visual Studio 2013 and downloaded latest VisualGDB yesterday, at it began complaining about -std=c++11 macro with an error: Error: Macro names Must Be Identifiers

Has anything changed? Is there a different way to add this to the project?

If I remove the “-” sign, I can compile, but it complains there is no C++11 support and spits out errors for C++11 specific items.

Note: I checked that the “-” hasn’t been changed to the long “–” like MS word usually does with autocorrect.

Thanks,.

Hi,

The -std=c++11 is a compiler option, not a preprocessor macro. Please add it to CXXFLAGS instead and everything should work.
