    What C++ standard is the compiler set to? Can you force it to say -std=c11? Be curious to know what version of the standard it is set to for compiling now. Is the clang setup gcc based or something else? You said it worked in mingw, which is basically gcc. Is it possible to get a gcc compiler for MacOS?

    Another option to consider. Completely uninstall your Qt installation and reinstall. I had issues with a Qt install installation where header files were corrupted and all sorts of weird problems. Some things would work, and others would not. I did a drive check in Windows and found corrupted sectors. This caused the corruption of the files. This was in Windows 7 however.

    I don't think there are many opportunities to change the compiler on macOS. Since the installation settings come with XCode. Actually tried "this" before I started this thread. and had to format my entire pc and reinstall everything.

    I treed to type " $ gcc --version " to answer you question. and don't know whether this is useful...

    MY-MacBook-Air:~ bugi$ gcc --version
    Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
    Apple LLVM version 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)
    Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.6.0
    Thread model: posix
    InstalledDir: Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
    

    I fund this .pro file in the project folder

    TEMPLATE = app
    CONFIG += console c++11
    CONFIG -= app_bundle
    CONFIG -= qt
    
    SOURCES += \
            main.cpp
    
    HEADERS +=
    
    

    I tried reinstalling the latest Qt Open Source version:
    Under the instalion setup there is a step where you are installing components: where i have 2 options at this step.
    1. is to install as. Qt 5.12.3 -> macOS :
    This installation resultet in nothing working at all!
    couldn't even compile with the auto-detected kit. Or correct it to something that worked.
    So I uninstalled it again (Both time with the MaintenanceTool which removed all files from the system).
    I then tried again this time with the other option under installing component.
    2. which is to install as. Qt 5.12.2 -> macOS : I was then able to compile my projects again but it made no difference. It is still "0x^00x^00x^0" as output.

    I alså tried 3.th, 4.th, and a 5.th time.
    3.th time with both option 1. and 2. simultaneously. this resultere in that nothing would compile. again with the auto-kit or any setting (qmake return 2)
    The 4.th and 5.th time both time by uninstalling both Qt and XCode. And agin it was only possible to make the qt installation with component: Qt 5.12.2 -> macOS. able to compile any of my projects. still with the wrong output. "0x^00x^00x^0"

      Be sure the stream's not corrupted:

      std::stringstream ss(p);
      ss.exceptions(std::stringstream::failbit | std::stringstream::badbit);
      
      try  {
         for (size_t i = 0 ;i < 3; i++) {
              ss >> coeff;
              ss.ignore(2);
              ss >> power;
      
              poly.push_back(std::make_pair(coeff,power));
          }
      }
      catch (const std::exception & e)
      {
          std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
          throw;
      }
      

      You'd need the appropriate headers too:

      #include <exception>
      #include <iostream>

      Okay maybe we found something here ...
      but since I still have very little code experience I don't know if it is something or not... Or for that matter what it means
      Output:

      ios_base::clear: unspecified iostream_category error
      libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::__1::ios_base::failure: ios_base::clear: unspecified iostream_category error
      Press <RETURN> to close this window...
      

      It went directly to line 49: (throw) after line 39: (ss >> coeff;)
      Se folder and Debug_4 for code and images.

        I think Python is the same way on MacOS.

        Can you add an independent compiler? One that you can run from the command line? Not one that changes the entire system compiler. My Linux system has a standard gcc compiler installed, but I can install clang and it won't mess up everything else. That would at least give you a way to do your school work.

        I still think the VM option with Linux on it may be your best option. I know you don't want to, but it will give you a lot more options. It will also give you experience in Linux if you don't already have that.

        C++ is a perfectly valid school of magic.

          Agree and have begun to take baby steps with linux (ubunto).
          I was dedcated windows user some years ago (before windows 8) and have worked on windows machines afterwards continued.
          regarding my school work i have found a windows machine for the moment.
          BUT. I am still detement to make it work on mac os. I'm really tired of hearing people say you can't be an engineer with a mac.

          and I'm really happy with my mac :(
          And although I have a windows machine it doesn't help the others in my class with the same problem (mac user)

            The guy I share an office with is an electrical engineer (30+ years), he is a good programmer, uses a Mac, but runs most of his analysis software and programming tools on a VM running Windows 10. I run Linux and use a VM to run Windows 10 for doing Windows development in Qt. Most of my time is in Linux though. So, there is nothing wrong with a Mac. However, no matter what you run, you will probably need a VM to run something else. Or your boss will make a decision that forces you to run a VM. Its just how it goes.

              It means one of two things:

              1. You're reading past the end of stream.
              2. You're reading formatted input (the >> operators), which is not formatted according to the expectation; i.e. there's something wrong while reading from the stream.

              Read and abide by the Qt Code of Conduct

                just for grins...please replace std:stringtream with std::istringstream and retest. Since you are only using the stream for input, you should use the istream specialization intended for that purpose.

                  Unless you have a way to try a different compiler on your macOS, you'll have a hard time proving or disproving that the bug is in your compiler.

                  Does this exercise require you to use stringstream? If not, try a different way of parsing the string.

                    Anyway, in situations like this, it is useful to create minimal test cases to investigate the issue.

                    int main() {
                        std::string pstr = "22x^3+2x^2-1x^0";
                        std::stringstream ss(pstr);
                    
                        double coeff = -42.0;
                        ss >> coeff;
                        std::cout << coeff << std::endl;
                    }
                    

                    What does this print for you? If it's the wrong value, what happens if you replace pstr with "22"?

                        Hi we are two students in my class who has a slightly strange experience with string stream on our Qt installation C++

                        Common trails of setup:

                        • macOS Majave v. 10.14
                        • Qt Creator 4.9.1
                        • Kit: Desktop Qt 5.12.2 clang 64bit (default)

                          I've ran in the same problem in 0 A.D. (see here).

                          Edit: this is in fact a difference between libstd and libc and it has been reported before: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17782

                            @wraitii Thanks for information! You've probably meant libstdc++ and libc++, because libc is kinda different thing
