[cfe-users] G++ & Clang++ - namespace std _GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY(default)

[Adam Brenner]

I am trying to compile my C++ code using `clang++` but keep getting this error
with the conflicting namespace. My main.cpp file is a simple Hello World
program (for debugging).

I have a feeling the issue is related to a lack of includes or environment
variables I need to set up. On our HPC cluster, I am using the module's
system[1] but for the purpose of debugging, everything is being done via the
command line.
