compiler error using clang-16.0.5 when using gcc-13.1 standard library

[janwilmans]

Description

https://godbolt.org/z/jnxMe6veT

workaround: -DJSON_HAS_RANGES=0

Reproduction steps

na.

Expected vs. actual results

no compilation error vs. compilation error

Minimal code example

#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
#include <sstream>
#include <iomanip>

using nlohmann::json;

int main()
{
    std::stringstream ss;
    json j = {"foo", 1, 2, 3, false, {{"one", 1}}};
    ss << std::setw(1) << std::setfill('\t') << j;

}

Compiler and operating system

Linux, clang-16.0.5+gcc-13.1 standard library

Library version

3.11.2

Validation

• The bug also occurs if the latest version from the develop branch is used.
• I can successfully compile and run the unit tests.

[nlohmann]

We use GCC 13.3.0 in the CI. Can you please re-test with the latest develop branch?

[janwilmans]

the problem persists, I think it is triggered by clang lacking support for some ranges feature.
see: https://godbolt.org/z/cbEK3s1W9, which tests clang 16 + gcc 13.3

[janwilmans]

The same setting for Clang 17.0.1 works
https://godbolt.org/z/fPocKaT5j

I think the ranges-detection asks the standard library 'what it supports', but then there is compiler support in clang-16 missing that the standard library from gcc 13.1 relies on. So maybe this this not a bug, but something that can't be reliably queried?

[nlohmann]

Sorry, I missed the point about mixing Clang with GCC's STL. We do check Clang with both libc++ and libstdc++, but only for the latest Clang version (20.0.0). I'm not sure to what extend I can test all combinations of Clang/GCC.

With #4440 we have a similar issue with ranges.

Maybe we need to refine this detection code to incorporate the experiences from the compiler combinations. Apparently, it is insufficient to "trust" defined(__cpp_lib_ranges):

#ifndef JSON_HAS_RANGES
    // ranges header shipping in GCC 11.1.0 (released 2021-04-27) has syntax error
    #if defined(__GLIBCXX__) && __GLIBCXX__ == 20210427
        #define JSON_HAS_RANGES 0
    #elif defined(__cpp_lib_ranges)
        #define JSON_HAS_RANGES 1
    #else
        #define JSON_HAS_RANGES 0
    #endif
#endif

[janwilmans]

I did some more testing, it is indeed very specific for some combinations and I did not find a reliable way to detect this. Let's just close this as 'won't fix'
