error: 'rbegin' is not a member of 'std' - C++11 compliancy

[knedlsepp]

I am experiencing problems compiling with gcc-4.9.3. On trying to compile a simple zip, I get the following error message:

cppitertools/reversed.hpp:29:16: error: 'rbegin' is not a member of 'std'

It seems to me that this issue is due to cppitertools using C++14 features and my standard library not being C++14 compliant, as is explained here.
Should the library still work in a C++11 environment or is there some other problem on my behalf?

Edit:
I now tested with gcc-5.3 and -std=c++11, which gives similar errors. Activating -std=c++14 fixes the problem.
The issue boils down to:

Implementation of python itertools and builtin iteration functions for C++14

Yes I've been working on the C++14 branch for some time, but enough time has passed (imo) to stop active development on both C++11 and C++14. You are right that gcc-4.9 with its libstdc++ was missing std::rbegin and std::rend which are both new to C++14. They are supported as of the gcc-5 series.

If you can't use a library with the newer C++14 functions, you can comment out the code that uses it, or remove #include <reveresed.hpp> from itertools.hpp. As far as I recall reversed is the only one that uses them. Otherwise stick with v0.1 which is a less than ideal fix.

Ok. Thanks for the info.
