Unfortunately that's not the same. Extensions manage C++ language<br>
features and STL capabilities, but -stdlib is for selecting an STL<br>
implementation, AFAIK. Such as GNU STL and LLVM STL (which is libc++<br>
to clang).<br>

After a little digging, it seems like you probably <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/50407611/1938798" target="_blank">shouldn't be using the -stdlib option on Linux</a> anyway. FWIW, for Android, the <a href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/Roadmap.md" target="_blank">roadmap</a> is converging on a single STL implementation too.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>All that first link says is that -stdlib is a flag that is specific to clang and that it shouldn't be used with gcc. You can use clang on Linux with either libstdc++ or libc++. I often use libc++ on Linux by setting CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS on the command line, though I'll admit that for me it's usually just to check if problems that come up are OS dependent, compiler dependent, or standard library dependent. You have to be careful since libstdc++ and libc++ have incompatible ABIs, but it's a useful feature. That said, I have no idea if specifying the standard library implementation merits handling at the CMake level since only clang supports switching anyway.</div><div><br></div><div>Just my two cents though.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Ian</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Regarding your earlier comment:</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I'll explain a bit why I'm asking.
