Hi,
I understand you are facing the following error while building the Linux executable using the Simulink 'build' button:
C:/my_path/cpp/src/my_class.h:13:5: error: 'unique_ptr' in namespace 'std' does not name a type
A possible reason for this error is the absence of required header files for ‘std::unique_ptr’. Please ensure you have included the ‘<memory>’ header file by adding the following line at the beginning of your custom C++ code:
‘#include <memory>’.
Now, based on your idea, assuming that you have included the required header files, the error might be occurring due to the C++ version being used. According to the following documentation, the default version used is C++11 (ISO):
The above documentation also covers the steps you need to follow to enforce the compiler to compile in a specific version of C++. The steps are as follows:
- In the Configuration Parameters dialog box, set ‘Build configuration’ to ‘Specify’.
- Under Toolchain details, at the end of the C Compiler and C++ Compiler Options field entries, manually add these compiler flags: When the Language standard is set to C++11, add the flag ‘-std=c++11 -pedantic’.
Another possible cause of the error you are facing might be incorrect configuration of the toolchain. You can refer to this documentation to correctly specify the toolchain in the ‘Configuration Parameters’: https://www.mathworks.com/help/rtw/ug/program-builds.html
For more information on how to troubleshoot compiler issues, you may refer to the documentation given below:
I hope this helps!
