compiler errors - no template named 'tuple' in C++

Question

I am not allowed to initialise a tuple in C++. When I compile it comes up the following error while pointen at tuple: no template named 'tuple'. I am using Mac and have specified my tasks.json as shown in the bottom of the page.

Code

#include <tuple>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {

    tuple<int,int> f;

    return 0;
}

Error message:

error: no template named 'tuple'
tuple<int,int> f;
^

1 error generated.

tasks.json (taken from https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-clang-mac where I have followed their guidelines):

Answer 1

Based on the comments, the problem was, that the task cppbuild was used instead of shell, and for that task, no c++ version was defined. Due to that default version for that compiler was used which does not support tuple.

Adding "-std=c++17", to the args of cppbuild solves that problem.
