Hello. I would like to use eclipse to develop c++ using the features from the c++11 standard. Sadly the gnu libstdc++ is still missing many of the features, so i would like to use the more up-to-date libc++. Has anyone tryied doing that?
I tried by adding the lbc++ include path in the llv plugin preferences, but when i create a c++ project i cannot get rid of the include paths from the libstdc++ library.
I am on macosx 10.7, and i would like to use the library bundled with xcode.
Any advice is welcome.

Thanks for the feedback,
I acknowledge this behavior is a fault in the plugin. The reasoning is
that the user would have a working plugin 'out of the box' and not need
to include libraries themselves. But of course if user does not want to
use this library at all, it is wrong to force it. I try try to figure
out a way to automatically append libstdc++ by default but give a choice
to remove it.
I believe this might be the only way to fix it (on code), but if someone
has found a way to override this setting (UI-wise), please let us know.

Regrettably I am not able to give an accurate estimation when this will
be fixed, but hopefully I am able to squeeze this to some timeslot this
week. Will let you know when I have come up with a solution and updated
the plugin.
