Clang/LLVM are Macs' default compiler.


Now, about C++14:

Clang has experimental support for some proposed features of the C++ standard following C++14, provisionally named C++1z. Note that support for these features may change or be removed without notice, as the draft C++1z standard evolves.

You can use Clang in C++1z mode with the -std=c++1z option.

from Clang/LLVM's documentation

So just add "-std=c++1z" to your compile options in Xcode (without the quotes).

I was just now having the same problem. I found this in the build settings: enter image description here

The drop-down menu has a C++14 option. It solved the problem for me.
