Android NDK : no type named 'exception_ptr' in namespace 'std'

[Arman92]

It seams that that android ndk's default toolchain does not support exception_ptr (I'm targeting armeabi-v7a)

output error that I'm getting:
RxCpp/Rx/v2/src/rxcpp/rx-subscriber.hpp:78:37: error: no type named 'exception_ptr' in
namespace 'std'; did you mean 'exception'?

what do you suggest?

This was also reported in #239

Android was working since #184 was resolved by adding PTHREAD support. There was a working example.

I am surprised that exception_ptr is now an issue. I assume that boost::exception is still an option, but would need a PR for rxcpp to support that.

The pages you linked to were useful.

this answer seems promising.

To anyone wandering here, you can now pick a different STL provided in the NDK
to solve this issue, libc++ for instance. Passing --stl=libc++ to
make-standalone-toolchain.sh did the trick in my case.

this answer is also relevant

We're working on getting libc++ into shape rather than fixing libstdc++.

Any updates on this issue? Have you tried again with Android NDK?
