I have a project the successfully builds using MinGW32 on Windows 8.1 using CodeLite. I am trying to change the compiler from MinGW32 to clang. However, after switching the compiler over I get the following error:
c:/MinGW/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/include/c++\bits/stringfwd.h:74:33: error: use of undeclared identifier 'char16_t'
...followed by many others of a similar nature. So, I tried making a simpler program to check if the program was simply in my code and I'd been 'lucky' with MinGW32.
The following program also exhibits the same error:
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Within CodeLite, the following compiler options are set (these have not changed between compilers):
-g;-O0;-Wall;-std=c++11
I've also tried checking the Enable C++11 Standard (clang) box at the workspace level, just to be sure.
After some searching on the internet, I found the following issue:
Build fails on clang errors. #762
As a result of this, I tried adding -fno-ms-compatibility to my compiler options. This did seem to have an effect, as the compiler error changed to:
c:/MinGW/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/include/c++\bits/char_traits.h:391:7: error: cannot mangle this built-in char16_t type yet
I tried using a popular search engine to find a solution to this too, but all I could find was a reference to it inside a file called MicrosoftMangle.cpp. Here is the part which mentioned the error I encountered:
void MicrosoftCXXNameMangler::mangleType(const BuiltinType *T,

At this point, I am out of ideas on how to solve my problem, hence this question. Thank you in advance for any help you're able to give me!
Additional Information
I realise that I am still using the MinGW32 include directories here, and this in on purpose as this tutorial on CodeLite suggested I do so.
