Missing terminating ' character

Question

I'm trying to use a library called OPENXLSX in my QtCreator project. When I go to build I get 3 errors:

missing terminating ' character
expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before '\x303438'
expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before ‘constexpr’

They complain of these 3 lines in the XLDefinitions.h file

constexpr uint32_t maxRows = 1'048'576;

constexpr uint16_t maxCols = 16'384;

constexpr uint8_t alphabetSize = 26;

Which C++ version are you using? Which compiler are you using? — Aykhan Hagverdili, Dec 08 '19 at 05:52
Your compiler probably defaults to or is set to c++11 and `'` in numbers as digit separator have been added with c++14. — t.niese, Dec 08 '19 at 05:52

The code uses c++14 digit separator syntax and your compiler doesn’t seem to support it. Either remove the ticks from the numbers or rather get a compiler that supports newer c++ versions (or tell it to use a newer version if it needs that). There may be other things also that won’t work, or at least work better with newer compilers.

When I run `gcc -v it says I have gcc` version 9.2.0. – GTA.sprx Dec 08 '19 at 07:13

@GTA.sprx give it the option `-std=c++14` and it should handle it – Sami Kuhmonen Dec 08 '19 at 07:32
