Using only g++ works, but not “g++ -c” and ld

Question

I have the following source code in main.cpp:

#include 
#include 

int main() {
    std::cout << \"Hi\" << std::en         


        

Answer 1

I think if you use ld directly it does not include the C++ libraries by default. You can use g++ to do the linking as well, it will call ld with the correct settings.

g++ -c main.cpp
g++ -o main main.o
