error: ‘chrono’ in namespace ‘std’ does not name a type

Question

Any idea what does this message mean? I am using gcc 4.9 to compile squangle.

In file included from /home/ubuntu/Devel/hhvm/third-party/squangle/squangle/mysql_client/Row.cpp:10:0:
/home/ubuntu/Devel/hhvm/third-party/squangle/src/squangle/mysql_client/Row.h:171:6: error: ‘chrono’ in namespace ‘std’ does not name a type

Here is part of the code:

std::chrono::system_clock::time_point parseDateTime(StringPiece datetime,
                                                    enum_field_types date_type);

std::chrono::microseconds parseTimeOnly(StringPiece mysql_time,
                                        enum_field_types field_type);

Answer 1

It means squangle doesn't include the proper headers (it does), or your compiler doesn't support std::chrono (it does), or you are not compiling as C++11, using the -std=c++11 switch.
