c++ variant No such file or directory


I have a problem compiling code using std::variant. I try to compile this code with g++ 5.4/6.2 on ubuntu and fedora with -std=c++17:

#include <variant>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::variant<int, float> v, w;
    v = 12; // v contains int
    int i = std::get<int>(v);
    w = std::get<int>(v);
    w = std::get<0>(v); // same effect as the previous line
    w = v; // same effect as the previous line

    try {
      std::get<float>(w); // w contains int, not float: will throw
    }
    catch (std::bad_variant_access&) {}

    std::variant<std::string> v("abc"); // converting constructors work when unambiguous
    v = "def"; // converting assignment also works when unambiguous
}

found on cppreference.com but this error append: "fatal error: variant: No such file or directory".


Solution

  • std::variant was added in C++17.

    gcc does not yet fully support the relevant bits of the C++17 standard.

    I don't even see std::variant listed in the gcc's tracking page.
