'unordered_map' file not found error when compiling with Xcode 7.3.1

Question

A file in my project fails to compile with

'unordered_map' file not foundIn file included from ...

This is despite I compile with -std=c++ and a directory that has unordered_map in it is in system include paths.

clang -std=c++14 -x c++ -v -E /dev/null

results in the output below. /Applications/Xcode_7.3.1.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1 does contain unordered_map .

You need to pass this option:

-stdlib=libc++

to select libc++ .

I heard people said that AppleClang uses an old version of libstdc++ (probably from g++ ) by default. I'm not sure why they made that decision (needless to say, it's understandable in GNU/Linux because most of the time, GNU/Linux is shipped with libstdc++ from g++ ).
