Issue #22184 has been reported by yahonda (Yasuo Honda). ---------------------------------------- Bug #22184: error: conflicting types for ‘OnigUChar’; have ‘char16_t’ {aka ‘short unsigned int’} since https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22184 * Author: yahonda (Yasuo Honda) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 4.1.0dev (2026-07-07T04:45:34Z master 86a6b79e5d) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN, 4.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This issue was found at Rails Nightly CI https://buildkite.com/rails/rails-nightly/builds/4522#019f393b-4212-453f-8f4... ### Steps to reproduce 1. Install these packages (this repro uses Ubuntu 26.04) ``` sudo apt-get install -y gcc make libicu-dev ``` 2.

Assignee set to byroot (Jean Boussier) Thank you for the report, I will try to find a way to embed T_REGEXP without including `onigmo.h` (no idea how at this point). ---------------------------------------- Bug #22184: error: conflicting types for ‘OnigUChar’; have ‘char16_t’ {aka ‘short unsigned int’} since https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22184#change-117912 * Author: yahonda (Yasuo Honda) * Status: Open * Assignee: byroot (Jean Boussier) * ruby -v: ruby 4.1.0dev (2026-07-07T04:45:34Z master 86a6b79e5d) +PRISM [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN, 4.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This issue was found at Rails Nightly CI https://buildkite.com/rails/rails-nightly/builds/4522#019f393b-4212-453f-8f4... ### Steps to reproduce 1.
