Can't do #include <cmath>, fatal error: cmath: No such file or directory

Hi,

I did all the steps, I added these lines to platformio.ini:

build_flags = -D USB_MIDI -D TEENSY_OPT_FASTEST -std=c++17
build_unflags = -std=gnu++11 -std=c++98

Then I got this error:

In file included from src\BoxLCD.cpp:1:0:
include/BoxLCD.h:7:17: fatal error: cmath: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
*** [.pio\build\teensy2\src\BoxLCD.cpp.o] Error 1

I’m not trying to do anything fancier, I just want to use the pow() function!..

#include <cmath>

Nevertheless the PlatformIO seems to work exclusively like the old school C++!

Is there any way to use Modern C++ on PlatformIO?

Thanks

PlatformIO gives you the same compiler and C++ standard the Arduino IDE wuold give you when compiling for that core, this is the only way to maintain compatibility.

What is the full platformio.ini?

The Teensy 2 is a AVR based board a d uses a by default 5.4.1 avr-gcc, which I heavily doubt is capable of C++17. Also the AVR-GCC compilers are known for not supporting a whole lot of C++ standard library features, even in more recent versions.

So that, even with

[env:teensy2]
platform = teensy
board = teensy2
framework = arduino
build_unflags = -fno-exceptions -std=gnu++11
build_flags = -D USB_MIDI -D TEENSY_OPT_FASTEST -fexceptions -std=gnu++17
; use a more recent 7.3.0 compiler instead of 5.4.1
platform_packages =
   toolchain-atmelavr@~3.70300.

you won’t get exceptions (fails to find stdexcept) or cmatch. Even fill-in libraries like GitHub - mike-matera/ArduinoSTL: An STL and iostream implementation based on uClibc++ that supports my CS-11M class. currently fail to compile for the Teensy core because of a clashing declaration of the new operator.

So the only sensible thing I can recommend is to stick with the defaults, forget about using standards beyond C++11 or the C++ standard library on an AVR processor, and just use #include <math.h> instead of #include <cmath>. It has pow() and that compiles.
