How to change compiler options of build in Eclipse CDT

Sometimes you may want to add a specific compiler flag to the build commands used to build your code by Eclipse CDT. For example, say you want to add the -std=c++11 flag to build your code. Adding this is easy:

1. Go to Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > Cross G++ Compiler > Miscellaneous

2. In the Other flags entry, append your flag. In this case, we append -std=c++11

That is it! Eclipse CDT will use this flag to compile your code.

Tried with: Eclipse CDT 3.7.2
