I’m having issues using C++ code with the Swift PM. Simple examples work fine as long as I don’t use anything in the C++ standard library, otherwise the programs don’t compile.

My guess is that the Swift PM internally uses clang (as opposed to clang++) to compile C++ code, and while clang can compile normal C++ code it can’t link against the C++ standard library. Is that it?

The second example on the link below shows working C++ code with Swift. If I try to add a simple call to std::cout, for instance, the program stops compiling.

Thanks for any help :)

This was just fixed on trunk:
  [SR-3152] Linker errors when building C++ with Swift Package Manager · Issue #5176 · apple/swift-package-manager · GitHub

In the meantime, you can either use a recent snapshot from swift.org, or you can pass `-Xlinker -lc++` on the command line to work around the problem.
