C++ compiler does not recognize std::stringstream::swap

Question

I am trying to compile the following code with g++ (GCC) 4.8.2 20131212 (Red Hat 4.8.2-7):

#include <sstream> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char ** argv) { auto x = 1; stringstream s1, s2; s1.swap(s2); }

I get the following error:

g++ -g -std=c++0x -c main.cpp main.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: main.cpp:8:5: error: ‘std::stringstream’ has no member named ‘swap’ s1.swap(s2); ^ make: *** [main.o] Error 1

According to this reference it should work. Using different -std flags (gnu++11, c++0x etc.) didn't help. What am I missing?

The thing missing might be that it simple isn't in the GCC C++ standard library for GCC 4.8.2. You might want to try GCC 4.9. — Some programmer dude

Take a look at row 27.8. Doesn't seem to be fixed in GCC 4.9 — Unda

As compliant as GCC can be, little missing things like this can be just plain irritating. — Niall

It works from cppreference because clang's standard library, libc++, is used. They implemented C++11 back in 2011 (because, unlike GCC's library, there was nothing to be backwards-compatible with) — Cubbi

From the GCC implementation status:

Section: 27.5
Description: Iostreams base classes
Support: Partial
Comments:

Missing move and swap operations on basic_ios.

Missing io_errc and iostream_category.

ios_base::failure is not derived from system_error.

Missing ios_base::hexfloat.
