I am trying out initializing lists feature in C++11 using clang installed by MacPorts. When compiling this simple code:

#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> a {1, 3, 5};
    return 0;
}

I got this error:

It seems to include the headers from system gcc (4.2). And I can't find any clang specific headers. What package should I install from MacPorts for this to work? Or do I need to install and build clang's libc++?

    [I really hope you mean "C++ standard library", not STL.](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5205491/whats-this-stl-vs-c-standard-library-fight-all-about/5205571#5205571) – Griwes May 02 '12 at 14:30
  • @Griwes yes. I edited the question to reflect that. Sorry for the wrong term. – Stephen Chu May 02 '12 at 15:11

First you'll need to set the standard library with '-stdlib=libc++'

Then you may need updated headers. The newest libc++ headers will work with libc++ libs installed with OS X 10.7 and up.

I don't know that macports has libc++, but since all you need is the headers you should be able to simply download them and drop them into the include directory adjacent to wherever clang is installed.
