To get support for C++14 in Eclipse Luna, you could do these steps:

• In C++ General -> Preprocessor Include -> Providers -> CDT Cross GCC Built-in Compiler Settings, add "-std=c++14"
• In C++ Build -> Settings -> Cross G++ Compiler -> Miscellaneous, add "-std=c++14"

Reindex your project and eventually restart Eclipse. It should work as expected.
