Symptom
Qtcreator will not use the new verion of c++ 11 (also called C++ 0x)
Cause
This is the default
Solution
To make your compiler compile with c++ 11 syntax you need to specify a compiler flag. This has to be added to your pro file.
...
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11
...
Save your pro file and compile again. e.g. by using the new C++ 11 keyword auto.
...
auto i = 8;
i = i+ 8;
...
This should now compile without errors.
