Issue #21024 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). After this change, some of my gems failed to compile on Ruby 3.4.3+. I found the issue seems to be due to some problematic CFLAGS in my `extconf.rb`. Specifically I was getting errors like this: ``` /home/samuel/.rubies/ruby-3.4.4/include/ruby-3.4.0/ruby/internal/special_consts.h:137:15: error: unknown type name ‘bool’ 137 | static inline bool | ^~~~ ``` And it was fixed by changing: ``` $CFLAGS << " -O3 -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -std=c99" # to append_cflags(["-O3", "-Wall", "-Wno-unknown-pragmas", "-std=c99"]) ``` I just wanted to document this in case other people run into this issue. - https://github.com/socketry/xrb/commit/c6f50b3b6d1708572c5a42126b66f930c422b... - https://github.com/ioquatix/markly/commit/144c70117231def01bfd75631d785f1187... - https://github.com/socketry/io-event/pull/137 - https://github.com/RubyCrypto/ed25519/issues/44 ---------------------------------------- Bug #21024: Ruby including <cstdbool> generates compilation warning with GCC 15, header is deprecated in C++17, https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21024#change-113919 * Author: jprokop (Jarek Prokop) * Status: Closed * ruby -v: ruby 3.4.1 (2024-12-25 revision 48d4efcb85) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: DONE ---------------------------------------- C++ compiler in GCC 15 now generates a warning when trying to include `<cstdbool>`. This file is being included when compiling with C++ compiler from `include/ruby/internal/stdbool.h`. In C++, true, false and bool are keywords so including headers for boolean definitions should not be necessary. Alternatively, just including <stdbool.h> should be sufficient as that is what the `#include <cstdbool>` results in with GCC. Simplest fix is just deleting the lines that are including the file (see attached patch and comments 2 and 3 from downstream issue linked in the bottom section "Additional info"). Considering the wide array of compilers Ruby aims to support to be compiled with I wanted to make an issue here first to make sure there isn't a supported compiler that wouldn't agree with this approach. Reproduction: Obtain GCC 15, for Fedora Rawhide there is currently a repo of maintainer, I use it in Fedora Rawhide container (podman is replaceable for docker here): ``` host$ podman run -it --rm registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:rawhide bash container# echo "[gcc_15] name=pre-release GCC 15 Repo baseurl=https://fedorapeople.org/~dmalcolm/gcc/gcc-15-mass-prebuild/$basearch type=rpm-md skip_if_unavailable=True gpgcheck=0 repo_gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 enabled_metadata=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/gcc_15.repo container# dnf install --assumeyes g++ ruby-devel ``` ^ should install `g++-15.0.0` and `ruby.h` needed for the reproducer. Note: that baseurl is a custom space of a Fedora maintainer. Have a file named for example `main.cpp`: ``` cpp #include <ruby.h> int main(void) { return 0; } ``` Compile with GCC 15 ``` $ g++ main.cpp ``` Current behavior: Compiling throws warning: ``` $ g++ main.cpp In file included from /usr/include/ruby/internal/stdbool.h:30, from /usr/include/ruby/backward/2/bool.h:22, from /usr/include/ruby/defines.h:74, from /usr/include/ruby/ruby.h:25, from /usr/include/ruby.h:38, from reproducer.cpp:1: /usr/include/c++/15/cstdbool:48:6: warning: #warning "<cstdbool> is deprecated in C++17, remove the #include" [-Wcpp] 48 | # warning "<cstdbool> is deprecated in C++17, remove the #include" | ^~~~~~~ ``` Expected: Compilation throws no warnings and compiles the executable: ``` $ g++ reproducer.cpp $ echo $? 0 ``` Additional info: ``` $ g++ --version g++ (GCC) 15.0.0 20241203 (Red Hat 15.0.0-0) Copyright (C) 2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
