Codeblock compile c++11 error

OK so I have this program that works correctly with g++ compiler in CodeBlocks. However, I want to modify this program and want to use the feature to_string in C++11. So I go to setting->compiler->have g++ follow c++11 ISO c++ language standard and compile and run the program. The program, which worked, doesn't work anymore. Instead, a stat.h file popped up and I got a whole list "does not name a type" errors:
_dev_t does not name a type
_ino_t does not name a type
_mode_t does not name a type
...
I don't even have _dev_t or _ino_t or any of these names in my program. I remove the to_string I just added and compiled and still those same errors appeared. What is the bug? My codes are below.

What I have tried:

File header: Container.h

C++

#ifndef CONTAINER_H
#define CONTAINER_H
#include<string>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
class ShippingContainer
{
public:
	ShippingContainer();
	ShippingContainer(int id);
	int getId();
	void setId(int id);
	virtual string getManifest();
	virtual void setManifest();
	virtual void add();
protected:
	int IdNumber;
};
class ManualShippingContainer: public ShippingContainer
{
public:
	ManualShippingContainer();
	ManualShippingContainer(int id);
	virtual void setManifest();
	virtual string getManifest();
private:
	string manifest;
};
class RFIDShippingContainer: public ShippingContainer
{
public:
	RFIDShippingContainer();
	RFIDShippingContainer(int id);
	virtual void add();
	virtual string getManifest();
private:
	vector<string>items;
	vector<int>quantity;
};
#endif //CONTAINTER_H

File class Implementation: Container.cpp

C++

#include "Container.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

ShippingContainer::ShippingContainer():IdNumber(0)
{
}
ShippingContainer::ShippingContainer(int id):IdNumber(id)
{
}
int ShippingContainer::getId()
{
	return IdNumber;
}
void ShippingContainer::setId(int id)
{
	IdNumber=id;
}
string ShippingContainer::getManifest()
{
	return "";
}
void ShippingContainer::add()
{
	cout<<"do nothing\n";
}
void ShippingContainer::setManifest()
{
	cout<<"do nothing\n";
}
ManualShippingContainer::ManualShippingContainer():ShippingContainer(),manifest("")
{
}
ManualShippingContainer::ManualShippingContainer(int id):ShippingContainer(id),manifest("")
{
}
void ManualShippingContainer::setManifest()
{
	string str;
	cout<<"List what is currently inside the container\n";
	getline(cin,str);
	manifest=str;
}
string ManualShippingContainer::getManifest()
{
	return manifest;
}
RFIDShippingContainer::RFIDShippingContainer():ShippingContainer()
{
}
RFIDShippingContainer::RFIDShippingContainer(int id):ShippingContainer(id)
{
}
void RFIDShippingContainer::add()
{
	string new_item;
	getline(cin,new_item);
	if (items.size()==0)
	{
		items.push_back(new_item);
		quantity.push_back(1);
	}
	else
	{
		bool found=false;
		for (unsigned int i=0;i<items.size();i++)
		{
			if (items[i]==new_item)
			{
				found=true;
				quantity[i]++;
				return;
			}
		}
		if (!found)
		{
			items.push_back(new_item);
			quantity.push_back(1);
		}
	}
}
string RFIDShippingContainer::getManifest()
{
	string str="";
	for (unsigned int i=0;i<items.size();i++)
	{
		char x
		str=str+"10"+" "+items[i]+'\n';
	}
	return str;
}

Main program: main.cpp

C++

#include "Container.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<cctype>
using namespace std;
typedef ShippingContainer* ShippingContainerPtr;
int main()
{
	ShippingContainerPtr contain[4];

	for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
	{
		contain[i]=static_cast<ManualShippingContainer*>(contain[i]);
		contain[i]=new ManualShippingContainer(i+1);
		contain[i]->setManifest();
	}
	for (int i=2;i<4;i++)
	{
		contain[i]=new RFIDShippingContainer(i+1);
		char ans;
		do
		{
			contain[i]->add();
			cout<<"anything else?\n";
			cin>>ans;
			cin.ignore(1000,'\n');
		} while (toupper(ans)!='N');
	}
	for (int i=0;i<4;i++)
	{
		cout<<contain[i]->getId()<<" "<<contain[i]->getManifest();
	}
}

According to this post (c++ - G++ updated on MingW gets massive error messages - Stack Overflow[^]) (and others) it might be necessary to pass the option

-std=gnu++11

instead of

-std=c++11

which is probably set by CodeBlocks.

You can try to set the option as additional parameter instead of selecting the c++11 option.

If that does not help inspect the options passed to g++ on the command line (compile output). There may be other options that reset the C++11 option.

For testing you can copy the command line for compilation of one file, modify some parameters, and execute it inside a shell.
