compiling C++ code with intel compiler on Mac error: expected an identifier

My laptop can not compile a simple c++ code since yesterday, it works perfectly fine before.

The c++ code is can be a hello-world code in main.cpp file.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    cout<<"Hello World"<<endl;

    return 0;
}

I am trying to compile the code by

icpc main.cpp

The error information is

In file included from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/algorithm(637), from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/__string(56), from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/string_view(171), from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/string(470), from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/__locale(15), from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/ios(216), from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/iostream(38), from main.cpp(1): /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/type_traits(2065): error: expected an identifier : public decltype((_VSTD::__is_assignable_test<_Tp, _Arg>(0))) {};

compilation aborted for main.cpp (code 2)

A few information:

====================================================================== Update1: The problem happened after I update my "Command Line Tools for Xcode". It looks like the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/ is not right.

====================================================================== Update2: This is can be solved by using icpc -std=c++11 main.cpp

However when I change my main.cpp to 

#include <iostream> 
#include <vector>
#include <tuple>

using namespace std;

tuple<vector<int>, vector<int>, vector<int>> 
getAllBlockMeanErrorTuple(const vector<int> &vec)
{
    vector<int> fact, mean, err;
    fact.resize( vec.size() );
    mean.resize( vec.size() );
    err.resize(  vec.size() );
    return make_tuple(fact, mean, err);
}


int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    cout<<"Hello World"<<endl;

    return 0; 
}

It has error again even if I use icpc -std=c++11 main.cpp

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/__tuple(401): error: type name is not allowed
  -> __all<typename enable_if<_Trait<_LArgs, _RArgs>::value, bool>::type{true}...>;

I encountered the same issue while upgrading command line tools to the version of September 2017

While not finding a proper solution, I reinstalled previous version ( April 2017) of command line tools and it solved the problem (https://developer.apple.com/download/more/#).

I am looking forward to having a clean solution.

EDIT (5/12/17): I solved the issue by recompiling everything using gcc. At compilation, Intel compilers will use the compiler that responds to gcc and g++ in the path. An installation with homebrew and some symlink in /usr/local/bin pushes the newly installed gcc in front of clang and then avoids gcc to change at each system update. Hope it helps.

Try to check that you are using right settings and GNU is working because it automatically set to C++ try to set compiler to c++ hope this works. OR You can use xcode to write c++ Code.
