Using more standard library function

sowas

hello,
I have a programm from youtube (watch?v=UvUZoS_HaGY) witch is running there, but when try to compile it on my pc, then I get follwing error message std::pair<_T1,_T2>::first has incomplete type.

It is referring to the penultimate line of notesmanager.h.
std::unordered_map<int, std::pair<Note, std::unique_ptr<QTextDocument>>> notes;

I can't find the error, it's because in the .pro file is required c++17.
My pc is running under Kubuntu 20.04, Creator 14.3.2 (Qt 5.15.1)
Does somebody has any idea?
Thanks

the code:
// notes.pro

You can make your code fail to compile if it uses deprecated APIs.

In order to do so, uncomment the following line.

#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000

disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

Please use code tags when posting on the forums, otherwise the code is very hard to read:

```
// Some code here
```

You are seeing the error because your notesmanager.h does not include note.h header. You should add:

#include "note.h"

sowas

Several errors occurred while copying, the characters "<" and ">" confuse my editor,
parts of functions were assigned incorrectly.

@sowas said in Using more standard library function:

Several errors occurred while copying, the characters "<" and ">" confuse my editor,

What's that got to do with the topic? I don't understand.

Did inclusion of note.h in notesmanager.h solve the problem?

@sowas what version of Qt do you use for your kit? You only posted the one that was used to compile QtCreator.

Depending on the kit, qmake may not know the c++17 command

@sowas said in Using more standard library function:

According to Creator Info (4.13.2) : Qt 5.15.1 (GCC 5.3.1 20160406 (Red Hat 5.3.1-6),64 bit

This is Qt version which was used to build QtCreator and doesn't matter here.
What you are using is 5.12.9

Under "3. Compiler" you should also have GCC/G++, do you? Which version is that compiler?

sowas

@jsulm
attached a screenshot of my monitor

J.Hilk

@sowas
ok, Qt 5.12 should support c++17

to exclude the compiler check what this program outputs:

#include <iostream>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{

    std::cout << "C++ Version: " << __cplusplus << std::endl;
}

it should be C++ Version: 201703 or higher, to support c++17

sowas

@J.Hilk
regrettable the result is : C++ Version: 201103.
What can I do now?

@jsulm said in Using more standard library function:

5.12.9

I think back then the config flag used to be CONFIG += c++1z.

jsulm

@sierdzio I guess you mean @sowas ? :-)

J.Hilk

Well, historically speaking, compiler vendors did not update/maintain
that part of the c++ standard very well, so I would suggest you do what @sierdzio suggested, maybe the compiler is c++17 capable after all 🤷‍♂️

After that, update your compiler, you're on linux IIRC, a platform I personally do not use, but it should be rather easy via a package manager of your trusting

Yes, sorry. I clicked "quote" on the first post I saw with concrete Qt version.
