initializer_list not working

Projects Programming

Hey guys,

I just tried to initialize an array of a class or a function with an initializer list. This feature is part of c++11 and should be supported by Arduino IDE?!? Can someone explain why this first minimum example is not working? I have compiled the same Code with MinGW (see second example) and it just works fine :-/

Thanks so much!

Example 1:

void my_func(const initializer_list<int>& init)
{
}

void setup()
{
}

void loop()
{
  my_func({1,2,3});
}

compiled with Arduino IDE --> Error:
exit status 1
'initializer_list' does not name a type

Example 2:

#include <iostream>

void my_func(const std::initializer_list<int>& init)
{
	std::cout << init.size() << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
	my_func({1,2,3});
	
	return 0;
}

compiled with MinGW --> works fine!

I'll just take a guess here: The C++ STL, which initializer_list is part of, doesn't make much sense on embedded devices (same as vector, string, map, etc.) so it is not included in the compiler distributions.
