Mbed os <charconv> libary error

Mbed OS
1

I have the code below which is trying to save a message to a buffer 50 times and sending the message through UART once the buffer is full. The code works with an online c+ compiler (removed all the mbed os libaries and just printed to the console), but mbed would not compile this code due to the errors I added below. I am not sure how to fix this.

I am using mbed os 5.12.4 and my board is the b-l475-iot01a

code:

Hello Nicholas,

The to_chars_result data type is defined in the <charconv> header file if the following condition is met.

<charconv>:

...
// As an extension we support <charconv> in C++14, but this header should not
// be included by any other library headers in C++14 mode. This ensures that
// the names defined in this header are not added to namespace std unless a
// user explicitly includes <charconv> in C++14 code.
#if __cplusplus >= 201402L
...
  /// Result type of std::to_chars
  struct to_chars_result
  {
...

Unfortunately, the mbed online compiler does not seem to be C++14 compliant (__cplusplus is less than 201402L).

However, the code compiles fine off-line with the GCC ARM toolchain.
