Clang 3.6 cannot compile program with -std=c++14

[Jeffrey Walton]

Clang 3.6 provided by Ubuntu claims to support C++14. -std=c++14 is not rejected by the compiler during feature testing.

Attempting to compile a test program:

$ cat test.cxx
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  return 0;
}

Results in the following:

$ clang++ -std=c++14 test.cxx -o test.exe
In file included from test.cxx:1:

GCC simply rejects the argument:

$ g++ -std=c++14 test.cxx -o test.exe
g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c++14’

This is kind of interesting from Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com/q/17775390):

<BEGIN SNIP>
This note in the gets manpage looks relevant:

    ISO C11 removes the specification of gets() from the C language, and since version 2.16, glibc header files don't expose the function declaration if the _ISOC11_SOURCE feature test macro is defined.

Probably should be:

#if !_ISOC11_SOURCE
using ::gets;
#endif
<END SNIP>
