Are you facing issues compiling specific headers like <ext/pb_ds/assoc_container.hpp>
and <ext/pb_ds/tree_policy.hpp>
using the default compiler (clang) on your Mac?
I faced the same issue while solving 1915F - Приветствия, where I wanted to use ordered_set.
Here's a step-by-step guide to switch to g++-13 and configure your IDE (in this case, VS Code) for successful compilation:
Step 1: Install and Set Up g++-13
Install g++-13 (or latest version): Open Terminal. Use Homebrew to install g++-13: `brew install gcc@13`. Verify Installation: Type `g++-13 --version` in Terminal to ensure successful installation. Update Terminal Configuration for g++-13: Open the .bashrc or .bash_profile file in Terminal using a text editor like nano or vim: `nano ~/.bashrc` (or `nano ~/.bash_profile`). Add the following line at the end of the file: `export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH` Save the changes and apply them by either restarting Terminal or running `source ~/.bashrc` (or `source ~/.bash_profile`).
Step 2: Configure IDE (VS Code)
Open VS Code: Launch your Visual Studio Code editor. Install Required Extensions: If not installed, get the C/C++ extension for VS Code. Change Compiler Path: Access VS Code settings/preferences. Search for "C/C++: Default Compiler Path" setting. Modify the path to point to g++-13 installed via Homebrew (/usr/local/bin/g++-13). Adjust Intellisense Mode: Look for the setting related to Intellisense or Language Server. Change the mode to macos-gcc-arm64.
Step 3: Restart and Test
Restart VS Code: Close and reopen Visual Studio Code. Restart Terminal: Close and reopen Terminal for the changes to take effect. Compile and Test: Open your C++ project in VS Code. Compile the code that includes <ext/pb_ds/assoc_container.hpp> and <ext/pb_ds/tree_policy.hpp>. Verify that the compilation is successful without any errors.
By following these steps, you should now be able to compile the problematic headers using g++-13 within VS Code on your MacOS environment. Updating the terminal's configuration ensures that the system knows where to find the g++-13 compiler when invoked from the Terminal, complementing the changes made within VS Code settings for a seamless integration of the updated compiler.
Thanku brother
hope your issue is resolved.
Thanks, it worked for me. If anyone is using the CPH VSCode extension then they need to change the CPP Command also, to
g++-13
. You can change this by going to Setting > CPH > Cpp:CommandI followed all steps but still getting
fatal error: 'ext/pb_ds/assoc_container.hpp' file not found #include<ext/pb_ds/assoc_container.hpp> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated.
