Bug ID: 65499 Summary: Missing "using namespace literals::chrono_literals" in std::chrono Product: gcc Version: 5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: marejde at gmail dot com Reading http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/operator%22%22min (sorry, I do not have the spec readily available) it says: "In addition, within the namespace std::chrono, the directive using namespace literals::chrono_literals; is provided by the standard library, so that if a programmer uses using namespace std::chrono; to gain access to the duration classes, the duration literal operators become visible as well." The following program: #include <chrono> #include <iostream> int main(void) { using namespace std::chrono; minutes min = 36min; return 0; } Does not compile with GCC 4.9.2 while it does with Clang 3.6. Looking at GCC trunk as of today I do not see a "using namespace literals::chrono_literals;" anywhere in libstdc++-v3/include/ . Clang's libc++ has it in the chrono namespace though. Would be great if this could be fixed before GCC 5.0 is released so I don't have to sprinkle "using namespace literals::chrono_literals;" in my code to be able to compile with GCC.
