'ptrdiff_t' has not been declared

[jubelbrus]

I'm getting the following error, and from 40 to 300 similar error when
I try to compile on mac os x.

I believe that it has something to do with STL, because this error
occures when I try to include any STL files, like list in this
example.

Please help me.

c++ code:
#include <cstddef>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <list>

int main()
{
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I would start by changing that to std::EXIT_SUCCESS;

Ask in a gnu newsgroup, they apparently have something to do with it;
your code compiles fine on my system (as it should).

Really? How does putting "std::" in front of a macro help? It's
similar to writing "std::NULL", do you use that as well? I am
genuinely curious, maybe I am missing something obvious in my work.

Thanks!

I think I messed up. What's your guess?

No guesses here, I was just asking.

Found the problem. Had something to with the setup of the build in
xcode.
Removed "Always search user paths", and like magic, everything worked.

By the way, thanks for all the replies
